Summary/Abstract: The Department of the History of the Church and Christian Art of St. Cyril and Methodius Faculty of Theology, Palacký University in Olomouc does research and documents sacral architecture in the Olomouc Archdiocese (Moravia and Silesia) within the limits set by the Research aims in question. This research also wants to encounter the current state of knowledge. The study presented examines scholarly interest in sacral architecture since the mid-19th century within the respective territories. Cemeteries and sepulchres in general are also considered to be an inseparable part of sacral architecture. We have been giving attention to these works of art for a long time with the aim to prepare a modern edition of sepulchral monuments in Moravia.
