Chuch of Skulls - "Artwork" Made of the Bones from 70 000 14th Century Plague Victims
Sedlec – Cemetery Church of All Saints with Ossuary of Gruesom Compositions in Human Bone
The Kostnice v Sedlci, Sedlec Ossuary is a small Roman Catholic chapel located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints Hřbitovní kostel Všech Svatých, in Sedlec, in the Czech Republic. The ossuary is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, whose bones have in many cases been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel. The ossuary is among the most visited tourist attractions of the Czech Republic, attracting over 200,000 visitors yearly. (Story continues after video)
After 1400 one of the abbots had a church of All -Saints erected in Gothic style in the middle of the Sedlec cemetery and under it a chapel destined for the deposition of bones from abolished graves, a task which was begun by a half blind Cistercian monk after the year 1511. The charnel-house was remodelled in Czech Baroque style between 1703 – I710 by the famous Czech architect, of the Italian origin ,Jan Blažej SANTIM-Aichl. The present arrangement of the bones dates from 1870 and is the work of a Czech wood-carver, František RINT (you can see his name, put together from bones, on the right-hand wall over the last bench).
Our ossuary contains the remains of about 40 000 people. The largest collections of bones are arranged in the form of bells in the four corners of the chapel.
The most interesting creations by Master Rint are the chandelier in the centre of the nave, containing all the bones of the human body , two monstrances beside the main altar and the coat-of arms of the Schwarzenberg noble family on the left-hand side of the chapel.
