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.

  • @201joe2009

    very judgmental.

  • @201joe2009 In zoroasterism and buddism the dead are fed to vultures. In almost any religion the dead are preserved. Many old european christian churches contain ossuaries. In this case, corpses are respectfully constructed into a celebration of gods creation. I see nothing wrong with this.

  • This is sick!! unholy and against all relegions!

  • It's so, beautiful.
