Shockingly cold building! Prague Ossuary

An hour or so train ride in the heart of Prague’s Old Town brings you to a town called Kutná Hora with stunning scenery and an amazing building! Church of the Ossuary, it is said that many, many people who unfortunately passed away were buried somewhere in Kutná Hora when the Black Death used to be raging. Until the war between European nations encroached on each other, many Kutná Hora tombstones and graves were exhumed, and together with the war dead, a total of 30,000 and close to 40,000 human remains were piled there. After the war, in order to relocate these 30,000 human bones, they actually decided to use all the bones to build artworks and construct a human bone church! Although the church is shady and cold, giving a terrible feeling, all the bones are truly Czech pioneers, extremely meaningful. You can take pictures, but don't touch it! ! ! If traveling to Prague, be sure to visit the Ossuary in person! #prague #czech #travel abroad #coolest travel experience #prague #czech #ossuary
