Bad Ischl Friedhof

Bad Ischl cemetery is a burial ground that includes the Sebastiankapelle chapel dating from the 17th century, along with numerous stone graves, crypts, and memorial stones spread across the grounds. The site documents over 80 grave monuments and displays a varied collection of burial structures from different periods.

The cemetery was moved in 1719 from its original location next to St. Nikolaus Church to Grazer Straße, where it remains today. The Sebastiankapelle chapel was constructed in 1692 and is one of the oldest structures on the grounds.

The cemetery is a place where Bad Ischl's history lives on through gravestones and memorials, many for artists and figures who shaped the town. Visitors can see how the community honors its important residents and how ways of remembering have changed across the centuries.

The cemetery is accessible during daylight hours and suits a quiet walk, especially if you want to spend time looking at individual gravestones and memorials. Flat paths run through the grounds, making exploration easy, though some areas may be slippery, particularly after rain.

Near composer Franz Lehár's grave stands a memorial for Austrian tenor Richard Tauber, even though his actual remains are buried in London. This monument shows how connections between artists can exist across distances.
