CAPUCHIN CRYPT, BRNO│ CZECH REPUBLIC. The mummified bodies of Capuchin friars.

In this episode, we visit the incredible Capuchin Crypt in Brno, where the remains of Capuchin friars have naturally mummified over time. The crypt was founded in the mid 17th century in the basement of the Capuchin Monastery in the historical centre of Brno. The bodies of people buried here turned into mummies because of the geological composition of the ground and the system of airing. Note that 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.
