Kostnice Ossuary
In the small town of Kutna Hora, lies the Kostnice Ossuary. After the plague wiped out 40k people and the bones started to stack up, the owners of the church instructed the carpenter at the time to "get creative" with the piles of bones.. Here are the results.
You can see more skulls in the photo set
Signature of the creator T. Rint
Cross at the entrance
Originally Rint built 6 "pyramid" structures, today 4 are left.
Looking into one the pyramids
The coat of arms of the family who owned the church and "comissioned" his work
Old and decrepit altar with Christ.
