Beneath the Jesuit Church of the Immaculate Conception in Klatovy lie baroque catacombs housing over 30 mummified bodies of Jesuit monks, nobility, and townspeople from the years 1676–1783. A unique system of ventilation channels naturally preserved the bodies to this day. The tour includes a multimedia exhibition on the history of Jesuit Klatovy and the baroque grammar school.
