Lobkowicz Vault in Netín, Aristocratic tomb in Netín, Czech Republic

The Lobkowicz Vault in Netín is a two-storey neo-Gothic brick chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows, built 1869–1871 to August Prokop's design. Nine stepped buttresses with stone caps reinforce the walls, and an octagonal tower with a pyramidal top stands at the southeast corner. The upper chapel has a square plan on four stone columns under a rib vault; the crypt below holds the coffins.

This burial monument was constructed between 1869 and 1871 for three aristocratic families: the Lobkowicz, Harrach, and Podstatzky-Lichtenstein lineages. The tomb reflects the importance of such burial sites as family heritage markers during the late 1800s.

The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, and a Way of the Cross with fourteen stations of small granite chapels leads up to it from the cemetery. Each station holds a folk-style painting of a Passion scene on sheet metal; these replaced reliefs made in 1931 by Bohumil Bek of Kutná Hora.

The vault sits on elevated terrain and can be reached on foot via a tree-lined path that winds through the surrounding landscape. Access is limited to specific dates during the year, so advance planning is necessary for a visit.

The linden avenue was planted in 1871, the year the chapel was finished; it now has 24 trees, two replanted in 2002. Dean Jan Peňáz later hung images of Czech patron saints, including St. Wenceslas, Agnes, Zdislava and Procopius, on the trunks.
