Duke Ernst the Pious was buried in 1675 as the first member of the House of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg in the vault under the sanctuary. Until the completion of the new royal crypt at Schloss Friedenstein in 1680, the members of the ducal house in Sankt Margarethen were laid to rest, including Ernst's wife, Duchess Elisabeth Sophia, as well as some of the couple's early-deceased children.
