What you'll see
A crypt under the Capuchin church where the naturally mummified bodies of friars lie in their habits, with a few nobles in open coffins, quiet and quite moving.
A brief history
Dry air flowing through the vault preserved the bodies; Baron von der Trenck, a famous soldier who died a prisoner at Špilberk, is among them.
