Cenotaph of Rudolf IV, Medieval cenotaph in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, Austria.
The stone cenotaph stands within St. Stephen's Cathedral, featuring detailed inscriptions and architectural elements from the medieval period.
Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria from 1358 to 1365, received this memorial after his death at age 25 while visiting Milan.
The epitaph on the cenotaph contains text written in Alphabetum Kaldeorum, a code system attributed to Rudolf IV himself.
Visitors can examine the cenotaph during regular cathedral opening hours, with guided tours providing detailed information about its features.
This memorial stands separate from Rudolf IV's actual burial site, which remains in the Ducal Crypt beneath St. Stephen's Cathedral.
