Human Bone Church is the reason why many people drive from Prague for more than two hours. Although the whole church is very small and hidden among a lot of cemeteries, but walking down the steps can have different feelings. There is no high dome and entering the door is like going down into the basement, but all kinds of human bones do not have that particularly gloomy feeling. They pieced together various kinds of bones. Patterns symbolize family history

    From the outside, the church is nothing but a humble Gothic building, while the interior is a small church decorated with 40,000 human bones. As soon as you enter the church, you feel the chill of the sun, the countless bones stacked together, a white flower. In fact, the Catholic Church considers death a sacred thing, and believes that the death of the body to God symbolizes the supreme praise. If you abandon your fear and admire the church, you will have a solemn feeling. What is life and what is death?

    The Czech "Bone Church" is located in the small town of Kutna Hora, about 70 kilometers east of Prague, built in the 14th century, its exterior is a seemingly very ordinary Gothic building, but the interior decoration is made of human bones, so it is not so much a church, but rather a "human bones museum".

    There is a personal bone church in the Czech Republic! This church is not large in size, and the appearance is not much more than other European chapels. It is indeed a variety of decorations of human bone structure that enter the church. It is indeed distinctive and can be visited!

    The Church of the Human Bone is located on Kutná Hora, a small town 68 kilometers east of Prague, built in 1320. The church is small and looks like a very ordinary Gothic building, but the interior is built and decorated by about 40,000 human bones, so it is not so much a church. Rather, it is the “Museum of the Bone”. Since the 13th century churchyard was sprinkled with dirt from Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified, it has become a “popular cemetery” for the Czechs. The Schwartenberg family bought the Sedlec monastery in 1870 and they let a local carpenter create it with 40,000 skeletons that had been in the basement for centuries. The skull and thigh bones are worn in a row across the domed ceiling, like a scary Christmas decoration, and the central chandelier contains at least every bone in the human body. In the corner of the chapel were four huge pyramids of bones, altars decorated with bone crosses, and even a bone-based Schwarzenberg family emblem.

    The Czech punch-in attraction, the church is very small in the city center. The pattern of human bones is surrounded by cemeteries. OK!

    In a rather shocking place, the church was full of human bones, but not terrible. Some of the bones were stuffed with coins. It takes more than ten minutes to get off the train from seldec station. In peak season, there is a Chinese bus at the door of the church to St. Barbara's church.

    This person's bone church is very famous. In order to commemorate the Black Death in Europe in the 14th century, the decorations in the church are built with human bones. Some people may not adapt to the wine glass, human bone chandelier, human bone candlestick, human bone cross, the taste is slightly heavy, the atmosphere is more depressed, some people may not adapt, But I think it's worth a visit.
