Why Capuchin Crypt Brno matters
Below a church, the dry air has naturally preserved the bodies of monks and local figures. It is quiet, a little eerie and thought-provoking. Visitors are asked to be respectful. It is a short visit, but one that stays with people, so treat it with quiet respect.
Talking points
- The air in the crypt helped preserve bodies naturally.
- It is a small but memorable site.
- It sits close to the main square.
