Sedlec, CZ —Ossuary Art Of Human Remains :

” The suburb of Sedlec is a quiet, everyday place, just another part of the small but historic town of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic.  The town has never had a huge population – even today the number of souls there number just over twenty thousand.  Yet this calm suburb is home to 
the Sedlec Ossuary , 
a place which could well send a shiver up your spine.  
This small chapel under the Cemetery Church of All Saints
houses the skeletons of around 70,000 people.
 And they are not exactly tucked away in a crypt, either. “ [ Photo Credit : SecretAgentMoof ]

” The massive bone chandelier which hangs from the center of the nave is perhaps the most outlandish example of Rint’s handiwork [ ’ Rint ’ being a local woodcarver & artisan designated the task of ” do[ing] ” something with the heaps of bones the church had accumulated ] .  It is said that the chandelier was built using at least one example of each and every bone in the human body. “
