They Weren’t Kidding When They Called This The Bone Church [Episode 23]
Manage episode 219169042 series 2426028
Key Links:
This week, we’re visiting the Bone Church, AKA Sedlec Ossuary. This is a very unusual church, located just outside the Czech town of Kutna Hora. The Bone Church is the final resting place for the remains of somewhere between 40,000 to 70,000 individuals.
What makes this cemetery/church so unusual is the macabre decor. A little over a hundred years ago, a decision was made to do something with all the bones that had literally been piling up for centuries there. A local wood carver was hired to create decoration from the remains.
Chandeliers of bones, garlands of skulls, chalices of femurs, coats of arms of clavicles. They say seeing is believing, but we’re discussing all that we saw and felt at this highly unusual church.
