Schloss Mayerling Description
About 6km/4mi southwest of Heiligenkreuz stands Schloss Mayerling, now a Carmelite convent, on the site of an earlier hunting lodge belonging to Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria, where on January 1 1889 the Crown Prince and his mistress Maria Vetsera took their own lives, in circumstances which have never been fully explained. The Crown Prince is buried in the Capuchin vault; his room was later made into a chapel.
