Bones of 30,000 Plague Victims Decorate This Church
Visit, if you dare. 
 
 

Tragically beautiful, the Sedlec Ossuary is decorated with human bones that were bleached and carved.
 
By Christine Blau

The Gothic church standing in Sedlec near the quaint Czech Republic city of Kutná Hora looks pretty ordinary from the outside, but head into the basement to discover something chilling: Bones of thousands of humans were bleached then ornately carved, and now artfully cover everything in sight.
