The Dietrichstein family mausoleum occupies the former St Anne's Church. The front of the building features a remarkable baroque facade ‒ the work of Austrian master Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach ‒ dating from the early 18th century. The tombs, dating from 1617 to 1852, hold the remains of 45 family members.
