Description:
The Burgkapelle is part of the Hofburg complex. It lies directly above the entrance to the Schatzkammer or treasury. It was built in the 1440ies under the rule of Friedrich III, the first Habsburg to become Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. This makes the chapel one of the older, but not the oldest part of the Hofburg in general. The interiors are surprisingly well-preserved and still bear their original Gothic vaulting and wooden statues from the 15th century.
