My friend Julia and I went to Kutna Hora last weekend. Just a short train ride from Prague. We went with the intent of seeing the Bone Church - and did we ever:
The ossuary holds the bones of 40,000 dead - mostly due to the plague. So many people were dying that they had no where else to keep their bodies. So they were arranged inside of this church, mostly just stacked up in piles of bones, some strung from the ceiling, and others making up a giant chandelier in the center of the ossuary.
A very strange experience.
