Tomb of Maria Christina inside Augustinerkirche. Christina is the favorite daughter of Maria Theresa, and she was allowed to choose her husband by herself, instead of being arranged for political marriage like her sister Marie Antoinette. Her husband is Duke Albert of Sachsen-Teschen and their palace Albertina nearby is now an art museum rich of paintings.
