The Imperial Treasury at the Hofburg displays a stunning collection of Secular and Ecclesiastical treasures brought together by the Imperial House of Habsburg, with some unique historical pieces such as the Imperial Crown, Orb and Sceptre of Austria, as well as the Imperial Crown and Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire.

The collection covers over a thousand years of the political and religious European history, whereas the religious items tell the story of the medieval cult of relics, the role of Catholicism in the Habsburg empire up to the Counterreformation and beyond.

The Imperial Treasury is an affiliate of the Kunsthistorische Museum (the Museum of Fine Arts)
