TOMB OF THE DIETRICHSTEIN (DITRICHŠTEJNSKÁ HROBKA)

This noble family from Carinthia, which owned the Mikulov land from 1575 to 1945, built this building as a chapel adjacent to the Capuchin monastery. At the end of the 17th century, the building became the family tomb. It is supposed to resemble the Holy House of Loreto, with two towers, an inner courtyard, two aisles decorated with coffins where 45 members of the family are buried. The last prince of the line died in 1964 and is buried in Munich.
