Graz - Baroque Mausoleum of the Emperor Ferdinand II

To the south of the Graz Cathedral stands the sumptuous Baroque Mausoleum of the Emperor Ferdinand II (died 1637), partly designed by J. B. Fischer von Erlach. It consists of the domed St Catherine's Chapel and a burial vault to its south. In the center of the vault stands a marble sarcophagus in which Maria of Bavaria, the Emperor's mother, is interred. The grave of Ferdinand II lies to the left of the altar under two marble slabs; on his right lies his first wife.
