Visit Room 11 of the Imperial Treasury Vienna to witness the primary feature of the museum, a lavish crown that has been the pride of a series of Holy Roman Emperors. It was worn by rulers of the land during special ceremonies and was the most important aspect of the emperor’s royal attire. It is believed that the Crown was created for the coronation ceremony of Emperor Otto back in the year 962. It is covered in rich and meaningful ornamentation such as the eight gold plates which have been adorned with precious stones and pearls that symbolize Jerusalem’s eight gates.

Also preserved in Room 11 of the museum, you can see this lance with your Imperial Treasury Vienna tickets. It goes back to the eighth century when Constantine the Great is said to have used it to gain marvelous victories in battles. According to legend, this lance was used by Longinus to torture Christ on the Cross.

Set in gold over wood, the Imperial Cross goes back several centuries to about 1024 – 1025. You can see the intricate engravings on it of the Lamb of God, the 12 apostles, and other detailed inscriptions. The face of the Cross is inlaid with glittering pearls and precious stones. The emperors took their oaths of office on the Imperial Book of Gospels which was created with lettering in gold and has four illuminated renderings of evangelists from the eighth century.

Apart from the dazzling crown of the king, the Imperial Treasury houses yet another captivating crown. This was the crown of Rudolf II that was used by him in private, which was made in Prague in the early 17th century and was used for state events only. The crown is adorned with a circle of eight lily formations, that denote the Imperial office and is studded with diamonds, rubies, and sapphire.

This is a throne shaped as a silver-gilt cradle that was gifted by the city of Paris to the newly born son of Napoleon. Soon after the prince was born, he was named the King of Rome and he was gifted with one of the best baby presents by his subjects. It is covered in symbolic details and you will see the Fame goddess carrying a laurel wreath and an eagle headed towards Napoleonic star, along with the emperor’s personal symbol, the golden bees.
