Zámecká rodová hrobka Larisch-Mönnichů Tomb
Zámecká rodová hrobka Larisch-Mönnichů is a classical building in the northwest part of Božena Nemcová Park in Fryštát. The building, which has been protected as a cultural monument since 2006, was built in 1821 by Count Henry von Larisch-Mönnich as the last resting place of his parents.
The history of the tomb is closely linked to the Larisch-Mönnich family, which owned and administered it. The construction was created during the Austrian Empire period, when European society was dealing with the consequences of the Napoleon wars and emerging conservatism. The tomb was intended for John de Math Josef Antonín Count Larisch-Mönnich, who died in 1820 in Opava, and his wife Anna Countess von Larisch-Mönnich, who died in 1829 in Raduni. The bodies of both husbands were originally stored in the tomb, but later they were exhumed.
Architecturally, it is a brick object on a rectangular plan with plastered facade and a low saddle roof. The building is directly connected to the wall of the cemetery near the Church of the Ascension of the Holy Cross and forms part of the premises of the Frystát castle. There is an entrance in the shield facade with a stone portal and two-wing doors. There are rectangular windows on the sides of the entrance above which a small circular opening is broken. The shield is lined with a profiled stucco attached to the ledge and its centre is decorated with a plastic circle with a Greek isosceles cross.
Today, this tomb is an important example of the clash of the noble family with the Fryštět estate and an architectural element of the historical park. Visitors to Božena Nemcová Park can see the building in close proximity to the Church of the Holy Cross and the castle Fryštát. The sightseeing tour offers the opportunity to look at the history of a significant family and appreciate the classical form of the monetary architecture in the region.

Welcome to the unique monument that you discover today in Fryštát. You are standing in front of the castle's family tomb Larisch-Mönnich, a classic architectural gem located in the northwest part of Božena Nemcová Park. This brick building on a rectangular plan is attached to the wall of the cemetery near the Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross, which makes it a significant part of the local history and monument area.
Let's dive into her history. In 1821 Jindřich hrabě von Larisch-Mönnich built this tomb as a final resting place for his parents. His father, Jan de Matha Josef Antonín hrabě Larisch-Mönnich, died in 1820 and his mother Anna left us already in 1829. With this act Henry expressed his respect and love for parents, leaving behind a monument full of family spirit and historical value.
Take a look up on the saddle roof and shield facade with stone ornaments. This classical style is characterized by symmetry, simplicity and harmonious relationship between parts of the construction. Although not known architects, their work has been preserved for many years as evidence of artistic taste at that time.
Now let's focus on the key personalities associated with this monument. Jan de Matha Josef Antonín hrabě Larisch-Mönnich, Henry's father, was an important figure in his time, whose death led to the creation of this tomb. Anna hraběnka von Larisch-Mönnich, Henry's mother, also lies here and together with her husband form the core of the family effort to preserve the memory.
The interesting thing is that since 2006 the tomb has been protected as a cultural monument. This protection ensures that future generations can enjoy and appreciate this historical monument, which reminds us of the importance of family heritage and cultural identity.
