Come and see the area of the Holy Sepulchre in Mimon. Tours are guided.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is located in Mimon in Lužická Street.
In 1651, the then estates of Mimoň and Děvín were bought by Jan Putz of Adlersthurn, an imperial councillor of the court chamber with a gift of arms and knightly status of the family. He (according to the record of Mimoň historian Josef Tille from his Chronicle of Mimona, published in 1905) travelled to Rome in 1625 and from there on to Jerusalem, where he sought out the places of the passion and death of Jesus Christ, sacred to all Christians. In doing so, the idea was conceived to build a copy of the Holy Sepulchre in his homeland for the edification of the faithful. The conscientiousness of his notes is evidenced by the fact that when, on his return, he found that he lacked the dimensions of the entrance to Christ's tomb and the measurements of the stone with which the tomb was to be covered, in spite of the difficulties and hardships which such a journey then entailed, he went to Jerusalem a second time to plot everything once more. On his return on this second journey from Jerusalem he fell dangerously ill, and was then obliged to lie half a year in Rome. After his recovery he returned to Vienna via Loreto. The endless Thirty Years' War was still going on in Central Europe and the planned construction could not be carried out. In 1655, the site of Na Sandy next to the ruins of the Church of the Holy Cross was chosen for the building, and when Jan Putz died in 1660, his eldest son Jan Franz Edmund had to promise him at his deathbed that he would build the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre in Mimon. Construction began in 1665 by the prominent builder Giulio Broggio and was completed in 1667. A year later it was consecrated.
A guide will show you around the site and you will learn not only about the history of the Holy Sepulchre, but also about the history of the building of the Municipal Museum, which was originally a hospital, about the monument to the victims of World War I, about the tomb of the victims of the Prussian-Austrian War of 1866, about the tomb of the Hartig family, about the local statues and other interesting things in the area.
