The Capuchin Crypt in Brno (Czech: Kapucínská hrobka v Brně) is a funeral room mainly for Capuchin friars. The crypt was founded in the mid 17th century in the basement of the Capuchin Monastery in the historical centre of Brno.[1] The bodies of people buried there turned into mummies because of the geological composition of the ground and the system of airing.[1] Near the entrance of the crypt rests the body and relics of St Clementaine, an ancient Roman noblewoman.
Under a poverty vow, Capuchin friars believed coffins to be a luxury. The mummies are today considered a tourist attraction but are also useful for scientific research.[2]
