Church of Bones Czech Republic Kutná Hora Ossuary Kostnice Sedlec Monastery
(wikipedia)
The Sedlec Ossuary (Czech: kostnice Sedlec) is a small Roman Catholic chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints (Czech: Hřbitovní kostel Všech Svatých) in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. The ossuary is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, many of whom have had their bones artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel. The ossuary is among the most visited tourist attractions of the Czech Republic, attracting over 200 thousands of visitors yearly.[1]
Henry, the abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Sedlec, was sent to the Palestine (Holy Land) by King Otakar II of Bohemia in 1278. When he returned, he brought with him a small amount of earth he had removed from Golgotha and sprinkled it over the abbey cemetery. The word of this pious act soon spread and the cemetery in Sedlec became a desirable burial site throughout Central Europe. During the Black Death in the mid 14th century, and after the Hussite Wars in the early 15th century, many thousands were buried there and the cemetery had to be greatly enlarged.
Around 1400 a Gothic church was built in the center of the cemetery with a vaulted upper level and a lower chapel to be used as an ossuary for the mass graves unearthed during construction, or simply slated for demolition to make room for new burials. After 1511 the task of exhuming skeletons and stacking their bones in the chapel was, according to legend, given to a half-blind monk of the order.
Between 1703 and 1710 a new entrance was constructed to support the front wall, which was leaning outward, and the upper chapel was rebuilt. This work, in the Czech Baroque style, was designed by Jan Santini Aichel.
In 1870, František Rint, a woodcarver, was employed by the Schwarzenberg family to put the bone heaps into order. The macabre result of his effort speaks for itself. Four enormous bell-shaped mounds occupy the corners of the chapel. An enormous chandelier of bones, which contains at least one of every bone in the human body, hangs from the center of the nave with garlands of skulls draping the vault. Other works include piers and monstrances flanking the altar, a large Schwarzenberg coat-of-arms, and the signature of Rint, also executed in bone, on the wall near the entrance.
CHURCH CONTAINS 40K HUMAN BONES: Kutna Hora Sedlec Ossuary (Nightmare Fuel)
This is what it was like visiting Kutna Hora bone church (I think the bone church part is actually called Sedlec Ossuary) and it was pretty cool. We did do other things during this tour it wasn't just the bone church but that's the main thing so that's why you're seeing thumbnails and titles about the bone church of Kutna Hora in Prague.

The Skeleton Church in Kutna Hora (Czech Republic)
The Sedlec Ossuary (The Skeleton Church) is a small Roman Catholic chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints, part of the former Sedlec Abbey in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. The ossuary is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, whose bones have, in many cases, been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel. The ossuary is among the most visited tourist attractions of the Czech Republic - attracting over 200,000 visitors annually.
Four enormous bell-shaped mounds occupy the corners of the chapel. An enormous chandelier of bones, which contains at least one of every bone in the human body, hangs from the center of the nave with garlands of skulls draping the vault. Other works include piers and monstrances flanking the altar, a coat of arms of the House of Schwarzenberg, and the signature of Rint, also executed in bone, on the wall near the entrance.
It served inspiration for John Connolly novel The Black Angel, used as a location for the Dungeons & Dragons movie and the movie Blood & Chocolate. The ossuary was also featured in Ripley's Believe it or Not and is described by Cara Seymour in the final scene of the film Adaptation. It was also the influence for Dr. Satan's lair in the Rob Zombie film House of 1000 Corpses.

The Sedlec Ossuary, (The Bone Church), Kutna Hora, Czech Republic
The Sedlec Ossuary found at Kutna Hora, Czech Repubic.
'In the 13th century, Jindřich, the abbot of Sedlec monastery, returned from a visit to Palestine with a pocketful of soil and sprinkled it on the cemetery surrounding the Chapel of All Saints.
This direct association with the holy land led to the graveyard becoming a sought after burial site among the aristocracy of Central Europe. At the time of the thirty years' war in the 17th century, the number of burials outgrew the space available, the older remains began to be exhumed and stored in the chapel, and it's estimated that the chapel now contains the bones of up to 40,000 people.'
I visited there in October 2012.

The bones grace the walls, ceilings and floors. It looks to me like a scene from a horror movie -- but it is very nice, comments one visitor. The decor was inspired by the need to address overcrowding in the cemetery during the 19th century. Townsfolk see the church as a place of worship but detractors say the dead should be left to rest in peace -- not pieces.

Czechs clean thousands of human bones in ossuary renovation
Restoration experts are set to dismantle centuries-old bones from more than 40,000 human bodies, clean and reconstruct them. The restoration aims to preserve the bones at the Sedlec ossuary church. The project also aims to restore and strengthen the church building which houses the bones and skulls. The bones came from a cemetery adjacent to a monastery founded by the Cistercian order in 1142. The renovation is necessary due to the aging of both the bones and the ossuary.

Knochenkirche - Sedletz-Ossarium - Kutná Hora
Das Sedletz-Ossarium ist ein Beinhaus in Sedletz , einem Ortsteil von Kutná Hora, etwa 70 km östlich von Prag. Es befindet sich im Untergeschoss der Allerheiligenkirche auf dem Sedletzer Friedhof. Berühmtheit erlangten Kirche und Beinhaus durch die Aufbewahrung von rund 40.000 menschlichen Skeletten, wovon die Knochen von etwa 10.000 Menschen künstlerisch verarbeitet wurden, um Dekorationen und Einrichtungsgegenstände für das Kirchengebäude zu formen. František Rint schuf das gesamte Inventar mithilfe menschlicher Knochen. Hierfür benötigte er die Gebeine von rund 10.000 Menschen. Unweit der Eingangstür führt eine Treppe in das Untergeschoss des Kirchengebäudes. Auf beiden Seiten des Treppenabgangs stehen zwei fast menschengroße Abendmahlskelche. Rechts, neben einem der Kelche, befindet sich ein aus Knochen und Schädeln geformtes Jesus-Monogramm. In der Raummitte des Untergeschosses hängt ein achtarmiger Lüster, der nahezu sämtliche Knochensorten des menschlichen Körpers enthält. Unterhalb des Lüsters befinden sich vier Fialen, bestückt mit jeweils 22 Schädeln. Das Gewölbe wurde mit mehreren Girlanden aus Schädeln und Oberarmknochen dekoriert; ähnliche Konstrukte finden sich als Wandschmuck und insbesondere an den Gurtbögen wieder.
Auf der linken Raumseite hängt das ebenfalls komplett aus Knochen gebildete Wappen der Familie Schwarzenberg. Es zeigt unter anderem einen Raben, der – symbolisch und in Anlehnung an die Kämpfe mit den Osmanen im 16. Jahrhundert – einem Schädel (in diesem Fall einem auf dem Schlachtfeld gefallenen Kämpfer) das linke Auge aushackt.
Der Hauptbestand der Gebeine wurde jedoch in den Nebenräumen konisch angehäuft, insgesamt vier gigantische Knochenberge zieren die Seitenschiffe des Souterrains. In den Nischen links und rechts neben dem Hauptaltar stehen zwei Monstranzen. An manchen Schädeln, besonders an denen, die in der Nähe der Nebenaltäre lagern, sind deutliche Spuren der Gefechte während der Hussitenkriege zu erkennen (Dreschflegel, Fausthammer).
Rint selbst hinterließ seinen Namen – aus Knochen geformt – an einer Wand neben dem Treppenaufgang.

Visiting the Sedlec Ossuary (bone chapel) in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic
The centrepiece of this famous bone chapel is a chandelier containing at least one of every bone in the human skeleton. The remain of up to 70,000 people are contained in the ossuary. During the Black Plague in the 15th century thousands of bodies were piles into the cemetery which had to be enlarged. Later when construction began on building a gothic style church, the graves where exhumed to make way for the foundations. Eventually the bones were stacked into the chapel and in the late 19th century a woodcarver was hired to stack the bones into the artistic formations you see today.
It is very impressive and artistic and in no way feels creepy or morbid. Imagination is a wonderful thing.
