The crypt is hidden in the small and innocent chapel

Naked In The Crypt?

This crypt is made up of 3 perpendicular tunnels following the graveyard paths on the surface.

Many vaults, both occupied and empty line these tunnels. The gravestone inscriptions date from 1885 to 1978.

The location turned out to be photographically worth the trip, thanks to the tiny openings on the ceilings scattering an intense light creating a weird, humid and squalid atmosphere.

I managed to find a short anecdote about this place. At the beginning, the coffins placed into the underground vault were made of cheap wood. These coffins quickly broke up and liquefied.

One can imagine the horrifying stench reigning in the galleries. The City then required coffins to be made of zinc for the crypt to make them more resistant to corrosion.

Hint..

The crypt seems to be abandoned since the end of the eighties, but the cemetery paths showed us the direction to this underground treasure...
