Best Historical landmark in Czech

J	John-J Anderson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really interesting displays of different stages of decomposition. Great look into the history of the churches in the town, I wouldn't bring little kids here because some of the bodies faces are really scary due to wide open mouths and eye sockets. Cheap tickets and friendly staff. Would definitely be amongst the coolest thing's we've seen in Czech.
A	Ariel Schleicher on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A haunting and sobering look of what waits for us all. Worth the visit, very enlightening yet brief
m	macedonboy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This building used to belong to the order of Capuchin Monks, who also used it as a place of burial for themselves and some of their wealthy patrons. The dry and cool conditions caused many of the buried to dry out and become mummified. There’s no audio guide on offer, but the museum does provide written guides in a few languages, and I think all the rooms also had some description. At first it does feel a bit morbid looking at all those mummies, but you get used to it. I enjoyed it for being such a unique museum and the museum for providing more than enough information about the background of the church and the deceased.
A	Adams on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you are not into creepy, you're better off not coming. Descending into the crypt, you are greeted by a cold air and aura of the dead almost touching your skin. It's gets creepier the more you get inside and see the dead bodies. It also didn't help that I was alone in the crypt the day I visited. You can feel the hairs on your skin stand. But it was also fascinating to read the stories of the bodies that line up the place.
L	Lucas K. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A bit morbid, but interesting. The monks just lie there without coffin in the basement of the chapel. Made me feel a bit uneasy, but I recommend a visit. Spooky...
T	Team Electus on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice experience to see skeletons in real
H	Harvey Williams on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ You could spend an hour here reading all the information in English, but I skipped some parts and only spent an hour. Certainly interesting. 80 for an adult.
E	Emily Spotts on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice visit. Obviously it is not wheelchair friendly as there are steps (and some low ceilings!) going down into it but there's a lot of information about what you're seeing and it's translated to English as well. Interesting history and fairly priced.
