Schatzkammer

Schatzkammer is the Imperial Treasury in Vienna. Located in the Hofburg Palace, entrance at the Schweizer Hof (Swiss Courtyard). The Schatzkammer is a collection of 1,000 years of treasures. The display was completely renovated in 1983-1987. It houses the crowns and relics and vestments of the Holy Roman Empire and the Austrian Empire. Here you can see the Holy Lance -- reputedly the lance that pierced Jesus' side -- the Imperial Crown (a sacred symbol of sovereignty once stolen on Hitler's orders), and the Saber of Charlemagne . Also housed is the Burgundian Treasure , connected with that most romantic of medieval orders of chivalry, the Order of the Golden Fleece.
