Countess Rosalie Almasy de Zsadany et Torok-Szent-Miklos, (1806-1887) 
Born 17 June 1806 Budapest
Died 10 May 1887 Budapest
Count Ferenc Szapary de Muraszombath Szechysziget et Szapar   
Born 13 January 1804 Pest, Hungary
Died 11 January 1875 Nagy-Abony
Married 9 March 1825 Wien
 
 

          Rosalie and Ferencz, together with many of their descendants and 
          Rosalie's parents, are interred in the crypt under the charming 
          neo-Gothic family chapel at Alberti Irsa, near Abony. The chapel, 
          which dates from the early 1870's, was designed by Nikolaus Ybl who 
          also designed the city hall in Vienna and a number of civic buildings 
          in Budapest. The chapel ceiling, myriad stars in a sky of a striking 
          deep blue, calls to mind the evening sky which backdrops the Szapary 
          crest. The ceiling and the frescos over both sides of the external 
          chapel is now in a poor state of repair and the crypt has been 
          vandalised.
