Among them, only the Golden Carriage of Maria Theresia has stood the test of time and is now preserved in the Imperial Carriage Museum Vienna.

The Black Hearse of the Viennese Court
Also known as the Imperial Hearse, the black hearse of the Viennese court was a distinctive ceremonial carriage which was mainly used for state and royal funerals under the Habsburg rule and later, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Intricately designed and adorned with mourning symbols, the carriage was used to transport the coffins of the deceased high-ranking officials and members of the imperial family.
The Personal Landaulet of Empress Elisabeth
The Imperial College is home to the exquisite and graceful personal Landaulet of Empress Elisabeth. The crowns on the lantern and the carriage door were the only symbols that subtly reveal that it was a court vehicle.

The "Kaiserwagen" which was steered into exile in Switzerland by Kaiser Karl in 1919 is the only Viennese court automobile preserved to this day. It offers a tangible connection to history which allows you to gain insight into the advancements in automobile technology and the important role that these cars played within an imperial and noble setting.
