Capuchin Crypt in Brno, Underground burial chamber at Kapucínské náměstí, Czechia
The crypt contains naturally mummified remains of Capuchin monks arranged in rows, dressed in traditional robes and holding religious artifacts beneath the church.
Between 1656 and 1784, the crypt served as a final resting place for more than one hundred and fifty Capuchin friars and benefactors of the order.
The crypt features inscriptions in Czech warning visitors about mortality, reflecting the medieval tradition of memento mori through preserved remains.
The site welcomes visitors from Monday through Saturday between 9:00-12:00 and 13:00-18:00, with modified hours on Sundays from 11:00 to 17:00.
The sophisticated ventilation system and specific soil composition led to natural mummification, preserving twenty-four monks in their original positions over centuries.
