Hrobka šlechtického rodu von Baillou - Hrobka šlechtického rodu von Baillou

One of the worst tombs in the Czech Republic.

The tomb of the noble family von Baillou, who ruled the chateau in Hustopeče nad Bečvou in 1799 - 1945, was built in 1885 - 1887 according to a project by Zachariáš Hermann from nearby Hranice in the form of a neo-Renaissance chapel with an underground crypt. The building of the tomb in the Neo-Renaissance style is formed by a square object of the chapel with a small semicircular finish on the north side and topped by a tin roof with a small square turret in the center. The corner of the building is decorated with pilasters ending with Corinthian capitals, which carry a profiled coronary ledge, which is also richly structured and profiled. The side window is broken by a double window ended with a pair of arches and framed by rich chambers with pilasters on the sides. The front of the tomb is ended by a triangular tympanum with the "eye of God". The richly stucco-decorated entrance portal is adorned by two niches with sculptures of Grief and Hope. The interior of the tomb, originally painted, consists of a square hall with a high vaulted ceiling and a slightly lower semicircular end of the building, through which spiral stairs lead into the spacious crypt itself. This beautiful building with centuries-old oaks in the neighborhood is now in disrepair, surrounded by lush vegetation in summer. A path leads from the nearby bridge over the Loučský stream to the tomb object. The tomb itself is inaccessible to the public.
