Just south of Graz Cathedral is the Mausoleum of Emperor Ferdinand II who started building it from 1614 within his residence. The Mausoleum is amongst the most important buildings in Graz. It's a monument to the successful Counter-Reformation and is composed of two parts - to the north, there is St Catherine's Church; while its southern part shelters the graves of Kaiser Ferdinand, his wife Maria Anna, his mother Maria, and of one of his sons. A section called 'Herzgrüftl' holds the hearts of some members of the Habsburg family.
