Palatinal Crypt, Royal burial crypt beneath Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest, Hungary.
The Palatinal Crypt contains marble sculptures and bronze statues arranged along its walls, including a double life-sized statue of Palatine Joseph kneeling.
Built in 1838 under the direction of architect Franz Hüppmann, the crypt became the final resting place for Hungarian Habsburg dynasty members until 1973.
The sculptures within the crypt were created by Hungarian artists György Zala and Alajos Stróbl, representing the fusion of religious and political symbolism.
Access to the crypt requires advance reservations through the Hungarian National Gallery, with guided tours available for groups of maximum ten persons.
Twenty-four members of the Habsburg family rest in sixteen graves within the crypt, which remained intact during the World War II siege of Budapest.
