Burial vault of Nassau-Siegen, Burial vault in Unteres Schloss, Siegen, Germany.
The Nassau-Siegen burial vault features a cross-shaped barrel-vaulted layout with a cast iron door displaying the Nassau coat of arms at its entrance.
Constructed in 1669 by Dutch architect Maurits Post, the vault was established for John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen, on the site of a former Franciscan monastery.
The central chamber houses a wooden model of the ornate sarcophagus and a portrait bust of Johann Moritz created by artist Bartholomäus Eggers.
Tours of the vault last 90 minutes and require advance booking, with adult tickets priced at 10 euros and children aged 6 to 14 at 5 euros.
The burial vault remained intact during the devastating city fire of 1695, which destroyed much of the surrounding Unteres Schloss complex.
