Grafkelder van de Friesche Nassau's, Royal burial vault in Grote of Jacobijnerkerk, Leeuwarden, Netherlands.
The burial vault contains multiple chambers beneath the church choir, featuring stone walls and designated spaces for coffins of Nassau family members.
The initial chamber, established in 1591, served as the final resting place for Friesland and Groningen stadtholders until significant damage occurred in 1795.
The vault represents one of three royal burial locations in the Netherlands, alongside similar structures in Delft and Breda.
Visitors can access the exterior of the Grote of Jacobijnerkerk daily, while interior visits require advance arrangements through local heritage organizations.
Water infiltration in the 1696 extension led authorities to place subsequent coffins above ground, creating a dual-level burial arrangement.
