A small "Christian" chapel... what kind of Christian? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.46.198.230 (talk • contribs)

Catholic (Schwarzenbergs were always catholics, AFAIK) - it's not some cult, but absolutely mainstream (throughout its history) church. Memento mori has some background about the thinking behind the spectacle. 89.102.137.101 15:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Coat of arms

The caption to the image of the coat arms says that the skull is that of a Turkish soldier. During my tour, they said the skull represented the Turkish soldier on the Schwarnberg coat of arms, not that the skull was actually that of a Turkish soldier. Can anyone shed any light on this?--Bkwillwm (talk) 23:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I wrote the caption and I can't now support the statement that the skull is actually of a Turkish soldier. I was told that by a guide as well. I'll change it. Thanks! Wilson44691 (talk) 00:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
