Imperial Treasury Vienna Hofburg

In the most important treasury in the world, you’ll discover priceless treasures and imperial regalia spanning a thousand years of European history. Housed in the oldest part of the Hofburg (13th century), this collection includes:

The Crown of the Holy Roman Empire (c. 962)

The Crown of Emperor Rudolf II, later the Austrian Imperial Crown (1602)

Remnants of the 15th-century Burgundian Treasure

The Treasure of the Order of the Golden Fleece

Legendary Habsburg possessions—such as a 2.5-meter-long “unicorn” and the Holy Lance

The Ecclesiastical Treasury holds liturgical objects, reliquaries, and vestments, offering profound insights into Habsburg piety. The entrance to the treasury is located in the Swiss Courtyard (Schweizerhof), named after the Swiss Guard once stationed there.
