Cemetery chapel, Cemetery chapel in Lysice, Czech Republic

The Dubský Tomb is a Neo-Gothic funeral chapel of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on the western side of Lysice cemetery, by Boskovická street. The rectangular two-storey building has a burial crypt below and a chapel above. Its south front is dominated by a projecting two-storey porch with a saddle roof, a moulded saddle portal, a large stained-glass rose window, a stone plaque with the carved coat of arms and the inscription RODINA DUBSKY Z TŘEBOMYSLIC, flanked by angels on consoles, and a Greek-cross vent above; the porch gable carries a cast-iron cross, while the gable behind it has a raised central pillar with a statue of Christ blessing.

Emanuel Dubský (1806–1881) had the tomb built and probably designed it himself; he obtained the land from the village free of charge in 1880 in exchange for having the road behind the cemetery improved. The crypt was consecrated on 21 September 1881, and Dubský was buried in it the next day. Remains of family members from the vault under the Lysice church of St Peter and Paul were moved here on 6 December 1881, and the chapel above was consecrated on 29 October 1884 by Brno bishop František Saleský Bauer.

The chapel is the burial place of the Dubský family of Třebomyslice, owners of Lysice Castle until 1945. A marble German inscription on the north wall reads "WIRKEN SEI DEN LEBENDEN DOCH DEN TODTEN SEI DIE RUH!", its letters alternately gilded, blue and red. Marble grave slabs now stand in the lower tomb rather than in the chapel above.

The tomb chapel stands on the western side of the Lysice cemetery by Boskovická street; the lower tomb level and the upper chapel are separate floors, and the interior was not restored after the 2000–2002 reconstruction, so the altar and statues removed in 1962 are absent. The building is administered by the Roman Catholic parish of Lysice.

The chapel was consecrated on 21 September 1881 by parish priest Rudolf Keitter, and the builder Emanuel Dubský was buried in it the very next day, while work on the chapel continued. On 6 December 1881 the remains of family members who had died earlier were moved here from the vaulted tomb under the church of St Peter and St Paul in Lysice.
