Imperial Treasury


Schatzkammer (Imperial Treasury): Is where all of the rulers of Vienna would keep their gold and precious stones. The crown of rome, its scepter, and the spear of destiny are held here.


The Spear of Destiny- has a myth about it saying that whoever touches it will have the power of the people. It was said that Hitler was obsessed with the spear and demanded that it be given to him once he took over Vienna. It was later returned to Vienna by the U.S. at the end of WWII.
