| BRNO CAPUCHIN MONASTERY WITH CRYPT |
|
 |
|
Crypt with dead men bodies.
The most know part of the monastery after all is the Crypt situated in its basement. It was founded in the middle of the 17th century.
Both ideal geological ground composition under the church and exceptional system of airing made possibility for mummification of dead men bodies burried there. People burried in the crypt represent all the society levels from time of monastery founding till the year 1787 when a decision of emperor Joseph II. prohibiting burying inside of towns was proclaimed.
The Capuchin crypt was several times arranged and renewed. During the last adaptation in 1995-98 a new entrance on left side of church outside the building of monastery was opened.
