The Church of Our Lady Victorious and St. Anthony of Padua as the Prague necropolis of the Slavatas of Chlum and Košumberk, and of their heirs from the Trauttmansdorff family (17th–18th centuries)

The Slavatas of Chlum and Košumberk, as heirs to the dominion of the lords of Hradec, are associated primarily with estates in southern Bohemia and southwestern Moravia, such as Jindřichův Hradec and Telč. The family’s main burial places are also located there. Although they owned a palace in Prague, too, their connections to the city have not yet been given sufficient attention. This is especially true of the Church of Our Lady Victorious and St. Anthony of Padua in the Lesser Town, near the monastery of the Discalced Carmelites, where one of the front altars was decorated with their coat of arms. As part of the revision of osteological material taken from the chur­ch’s catacombs in 1971 and 1999/2000, a previously undocumented family crypt was discovered beneath it. For Ferdinand Vilém (†1673), the 3rd ruler of the House of Hradec, for example, it served as a temporary resting place for his body before its transport to Jindřichův Hradec, and as the place of permanent burial for his internal organs, the remains of his wife, and descendants of the Trauttmansdorff family. Three of the seven sons of Jan Jiří Jáchym (†1689), the 4th ruler of the House of Hradec, who represented the last generation of the family, were also buried here. The monastery chronicles have also revealed previously unknown details about the deaths and burials of the Slavatas, particularly those of Ferdinand Vilém and Jan Jiří Jáchym.
