At the Abbey of Heiligenkreuz, in the Vienna Woods. This Romanesque sculptured tombstone in the middle of the Chapterhouse is the grave of the last Babenberg Duke, Frederick the Quarrelsome; he died in 1246. The rosette-window was at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1889, where it won the first prize for its colours and their composition.
