'Pray for me and my Austria'
Empress Anna of Tyrol
The Founders' Crypt is the oldest part of the Imperial Crypt (1622-1632), dating back to the foundation of Empress Anna of Tyrol (N°1) and located beneath the Imperial Chapel.
The room is low, without decorations or windows, and separated from the Leopold Crypt by a Baroque grille. Here stand the simple, chest-like sarcophagi of the founding couple, Empress Anna and Emperor Matthias (N°2).
