Exploring the Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic

And now, a little bit of bad tasteThe Sedlec Ossuary is one of the most unique chapels and located right outside of Prague, Czech Republic. The church, in which this chapel is located, is nicknamed the Skull Church, because it is constructed of bones. It was created in the 1400s and constructed of bones from abolished graves. When I visited this amazing structure a few years ago, I was fascinated by the way the bones also were included in surrounding towers, the ceiling and the chandelier. The bones are a reminder of the people in the past who lived and die many years ago. You feel the need to want to know more about them and the history of the small town and the church.
