| Sedlec Ossuary (church of bones) Czech Republic |
At first glance the Sedlec Ossuary in the Kutna Hora suburbs of the Czech Republic looks like an other church. Gothic architecture surrounded by a quaint if over crowded cemetery. But looks can be deceiving. All normality vanishes once you step inside.

It is believed that the bones of between 40, 000 to 70,000 people adorn the walls and the ceiling of the church.

Wow... That looks incredible! I am going to Prague next week, might try and seek it out :)
ReplyDeleteThere's a famous Chapel of Bones here but I've never seen coat of arms or chandeliers like these. Simply amazing!
