Sedlec Ossuary
This was taken in an ossuary beneath a small Roman Catholc chapel in Kutna Hora. The ossuary contains the bones of approximately 40,000 - 70,000 humans skeletons. The bones were exhumed in 1511 and taken inside to make room for new burials. In 1870 these remains were artistically arranged to form decorations within the chapel by a woodcarver named Frantisek Rint. There are macabre sculptures, garlands and a huge chandelier.
