Ossuary, Hartberg, Romanesque ossuary in Hartberg, Austria.

The two-story stone structure stands next to St. Martin's Parish Church, featuring a collection of medieval wall paintings and traditional architectural elements.

Construction of this burial chamber began in the late 12th century, with extensive renovations occurring between 1889 and 1894 that revealed original frescoes.

The ossuary served as a repository for human remains during periods of limited burial space, reflecting medieval Austrian approaches to death and remembrance.

Located at Hauptplatz 12 in Hartberg, the structure maintains its original features but does not provide wheelchair access for visitors.

The interior walls contain preserved frescoes from 1200, discovered during the 19th-century renovation work and restored to their medieval appearance.
