Hrobka rodiny Daubkovy, Family mausoleum in Liteň, Czech Republic.
Description
Hrobka rodiny Daubkovy is a burial chapel in an English-style park near the train station in Liteň. The structure has a square layout topped with a domed metal roof and features stained glass windows that filter light softly throughout the interior.
History
The burial chapel was designed in 1888 by architect Antonín Wiehl, drawing inspiration from Rome's San Andrea church. This neo-Renaissance style marked the beginning of the site as a family memorial that would serve generations to come.
Culture
Inside, a marble altar holds a statue of Saint Joseph while a wall painting shows the Sorrowful Virgin Mary alongside family members. These religious elements shape how the space feels and reflect the family's deep devotion.
Practical
The chapel sits within a park near the train station and can be reached through an educational trail marked since 2013. The quiet setting makes it easy to visit at a relaxed pace without complicated directions.
Did you know?
Four identical sandstone angels with metallic wings stand guard at each corner of the structure like silent sentries. The crypt beneath holds eleven decorated zinc coffins that display remarkable craftsmanship in their ornamental details.
