context_page_description: St. Augustine's Church is a parish church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bamberg located in the Bavarian town of Coburg, Germany. It was built between 1856 and 1860. Originally designed in the Gothic Revival style, the church was remodelled in 1960 due to a liturgical reform. There is a crypt under the church that contains the remains of fifteen members of the Koháry branch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a Roman Catholic branch of the originally Protestant ducal house.

In 1948, the remains of their youngest son, Tsar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, were placed at their feet. Twelve more members of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha are buried on the left side of the vault. Prince Ludwig August (second son of August and Clémentine) and his wife, Princess Leopoldina of Brazil, are buried alongside their sons – Peter, August Leopold and Joseph Ferdinand. The remains of Prince August Leopold's teenage son August Clemens were interred in the vault in 1908. A few years later, his remains were joined by those of his murdered cousin, Prince Leopold Clemens. The remains of August and Clémentine's eldest son and Leopold Clemens' father, Prince Philipp, can also be found on the left side of the vault. The remains of Philipp's daughter Dorothea and those of Ludwig Gaston (son of Ludwig August and Leopoldina), Ludwig Gaston's second wife, Maria Anna Trauttmansdorff-Weinsberg, and August Leopold's daughter Maria Karolin are located in the lower part of the vault's left side.
