Gallas and Clam-Gallas Vault, Noble family tomb at Basilica of the Visitation, Hejnice, Czech Republic.

The Gallas and Clam-Gallas Vault is a crypt beneath the Gothic Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Hejnice, with three rooms aligned along a west-east axis. The eastern room holds the Gallas family, the central room the Clam-Gallas family, and the western room the Franciscans. Entry is through a side chapel containing a late-15th-century Gothic winged altar from Albrecht von Wallenstein, into which a linden stump that once supported the miraculous statue of the Hejnice Virgin Mary is set.

The Gallas family, from Trentino, acquired the Frýdlant estate in 1634 as reward for Count Matyáš Gallas's services to the emperor. Construction of the vault began in 1696 under František Ferdinand of Gallas, who had already built the ambulatory and invited Franciscans to Hejnice. He died on 4 January 1697 and was buried here first; the work was finished the next year under Jan Václav of Gallas. The crypt was later extended for the Clam-Gallas and Franciscan burials.

The vault lies beneath the original Gothic church, entered through a side chapel holding a late-15th-century winged altar that belonged to Albrecht von Wallenstein; after his 1634 murder his widow Isabella Katharina von Harrach gave it to Hejnice. Set into the altar is the linden stump on which the miraculous statue of the Hejnice Virgin Mary (Mater Formosa) once stood, and the first Gallas vault was built beneath that tree's roots. A floor opening covered by a slab bearing the family coat of arms was used to lower coffins.
