Visit to the Hofburg Chapel

The Hofburg Chapel is the home of the Wiener Hofmusikkapelle. The former court chapel of the Habsburgs is located in the middle of the Hofburg, the Imperial Palace. The Imperial Chapel can be reached through Inner Castle Court (Innerer Burghof) and the Swiss Gate (Schweizertor) or from Josephsplatz (State Hall National Libary). The entrance is above the Imperial Treasury. Every Sunday, 9.15 am, from mid-September to June the Vienna Court Music Ensemble performs the Holy Mass at the Imperial Chapel. This continues a tradition going back more than 500 years, which began in the time of the Habsburg rulers. The Vienna Court Music Ensemble consists of the Vienna Boys Choir, members of the Vienna State Opera men’s choir and members of the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. Free admission!
