Fürstenberská hrobka v Nižboru

Fürstenberská hrobka v Nižboru, Noble family tomb in Nižbor, Czech Republic.

The Fürstenberská hrobka in Nižbor is an underground tomb of the princely Fürstenberg family, set in a forest park above a slope near Nižbor Castle. A 250 kg cast-iron slab with the family coat of arms and the Latin inscription SEPULCRUM PRINCIPUM DE FÜRSTENBERG. 1860 covers the entrance stairs. Inside, a small space is divided horizontally: one coffin lies in the upper part and three in the lower part.

The tomb was created during an era when Bohemian nobility displayed their power and influence, serving from 1787 to 1899 for fourteen family members. It reflects the burial traditions that were common under Austrian rule in Bohemia.

The iron gate at the entrance once closed the princely gardens of the Fürstenberg palace in Valdštejnská Street in Prague's Malá Strana; it was moved here in the late 1890s, when the two-pillar gateway was built by engineer Jan B. Urban. The site is still maintained by the families.

The tomb lies in a wooded park on a slope above Nižbor, reached by the street K Zámku from the château and skirted by Křivoklátská. The stairway down is covered by a cast-iron plate of about 250 kg bearing the family coat of arms and a Latin inscription dated 1860. The site was restored in 2014.

The sarcophagi were crafted from local stone and showcase the skilled craftsmanship of Bohemian stone masons of that period. This technique and the materials used are typical of the regional workshops.
