St. Marx Cemetery

St. Marx Cemetery extends across an expansive terrain at 190 meters elevation, featuring rows of historical gravestones and monuments within stone walls.

Established in 1784 by Emperor Joseph II's decree, the cemetery operated until 1874 as one of Vienna's primary burial grounds outside the city walls.

The burial ground contains numerous artistic monuments and tombstones that represent different architectural styles from the late 18th and 19th centuries.

Visitors can access the cemetery grounds through guided tours that provide detailed information about the historical graves and architectural elements.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was buried in this cemetery in 1791, though the exact location of his grave remains uncertain despite multiple search attempts.
