This Roman Catholic church, the Sedlec Ossuary, is the burial place of thousands of people who died from either the plague in the 14th century or the Hussite wars a couple of centuries later. There are amazing designs and garland made totally of human bones and layers upon layers of skulls artfully decorating some of the glass enclosed rooms. The outside cemetery is beautiful and many wealthy residents of the area chose to be buried here.
