Chomutov’s Jesuit crypt will briefly open its doors after remaining inaccessible to the public for 74 years.

The opening forms part of European Heritage Days, which will bring visitors to nearly 100 sites across the Ústí nad Labem region from Sept. 1 to 30. Many of the participating places are normally closed, while others are preparing special programs or offering free admission.

The crypt is one of the event’s notable attractions. Its temporary opening gives visitors an opportunity to see a historic space that is not part of the city’s usual public access. The source provides no further details about the crypt or the exact dates of its opening.
