Crypt of the counts of Holland, Medieval burial vault in Court Chapel, The Hague, Netherlands.
The crypt contains nine separate burial chambers beneath the Court Chapel, constructed with stone walls and featuring multiple grave markers throughout the space.
Archaeological excavations in 1770 and 1879 revealed numerous skeletal remains, indicating the vault served as a burial ground for dozens or possibly hundreds of individuals.
The burial vault holds gravestones of prominent Dutch figures, including William IV of Holland, Jacoba of Bavaria, Jacob van Barry, and Johan van Oldenbarnevelt.
Access to the burial vault requires special permission, as the site maintains restricted entry policies to protect the historical remains and architectural elements.
Following renovations in 1979-1981, fourteen original gravestones were embedded into the floor and walls of the western cellar, creating an exhibition space.
