SHANGRALA'S
CHAPEL
WITH
HUMAN
BONE
ART!
The town of Kutna Hora owes its origin to the silver mines which gained
importance during the economic boom of the 13th century.
Its graveyard Chapel of All Saints (also known as Bone Church or Ossuary Chapel in Sedlec)
from the end of the 14th century was rebuilt in baroque style by J. B. Santini. It was
decorated entirely with human bones which were arranged into pyramids by a half-blind
monk in 1511.
Nowadays this ossuary in Sedlec contains approximately 40,000 human
skeletons which have been artistically arranged to form decorations and
furnishings for the chapel.
The chapel can be visited during the
Ossuary Tour - guided tour from Prague to Kutna Hora and back.
