 | Brno Capuchinīs crypt Reviews | 1 - 2 of 2 |  |
Well, this is definitely a spine-chilling place :)! They have a very special ventilation sytem in the crypt, so that the corpses got mummified. There used to be over 200 bodies, but at a certain point they started to immure them, so that now "only" about 40 bodies are left. People who got buried in the Capuchin`s crypt were not only friars, but also important people who helped the monastery in the one or the other way- for example you can see a doctor who treated the friars for free. The youngest mummy (at the time of his death) is of a ministrant, who died at the age of only 12 during a mass. The mummies lie in coffins covered with glass. In the last room you can see about 20 friars, some of them still wearing their cowls, lying all together in one room on the floor. They provide you with a guide book, which is available in English, but also in other languages at the entrance. The guide book is very interesting, because it tells you about the life of each of the corpses. Entrance fee is 60 crowns. Leave a Comment
