Buquoy Vault, Gothic Revival chapel and tomb in Nové Hrady, Czech Republic.
The Buquoy Vault consists of a ground floor crypt and an upper chamber, featuring a gilded mosaic of the Virgin Mary above its entrance portal.
Built between 1902 and 1904, the vault contains eight coffins housing members of the Buquoy family, who owned the nearby castle since the 17th century.
The stone relief at the portal displays the Buquoy family coat of arms with two griffins and their motto 'Dieu et mon roi' in French.
The vault opens for guided city tours, allowing visitors to explore the burial site at the eastern end of the town cemetery.
The tympanum incorporates specific heraldic elements, including supporting griffins that reflect the noble status of the Buquoy lineage in Czech lands.
