Schwarzenberg Vault in Murau, Noble family tomb in Murau, Austria
The Schwarzenberg Vault in Murau is an underground burial site containing several stone chambers designed for members of the aristocratic Schwarzenberg family. The chambers hold metal coffins from different eras and display the construction methods typical of noble burial facilities.
The vault developed in connection with the Renaissance redesign of the nearby castle by Count Georg Ludwig von Schwarzenberg after 1628. This burial site reflects the growing importance of the family as regional landowners during the early modern period.
The vault demonstrates the traditional burial practices of Austrian nobility, featuring sealed metal coffins and architectural elements from different periods.
Access to the burial vault is limited and requires prior arrangement with local administrators before visiting. Guests should inquire in advance since opening times are variable.
The Schwarzenberg estate encompasses vast forest holdings that remain under family management to this day. The burial structure itself has changed little and stands as evidence of family continuity across multiple generations.
