Quote:
In 1511, the ossuary was created by a half-blind monk who gathered up the bones of the black death victims, which were added to with victims from 15th century Hussite Wars.

In 1870 a wood carver was employed by the Schwarzenberg family to fasion the bones into works of art. The ossuary contains approximately 40,000-70,000 human skeletons which have been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel.




I'd love to visit that place.

Yeah, my mate went there a couple of months ago. Brought home some cool pictures.

It´s like Giegerish in a way. All those bones everywhere.
