This Gothic church, located in the middle of a cemetery, dates from the end of the 13th century; in 1698, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style. Sedlec ossuary, a small chapel located in the graveyard of the Church of All Saints, is decorated with the bones of more than 40,000 people.
It was quite a unique experience, there are 9 bone chapels in Europe. It has a great history behind it. The church is decorated with bones and skulls. IT is creepy and fascinating at the same time to see and walk around the church. It is a must visit and is hardly an hour drive from Prague.

This is certainly unique. a relatively straight-forward daytrip from Prague. There are trains every 2 hours and easy to get tickets at the station. From the railway station it's about a 2 km walk to here but you can get a bus if you want. The history is rather interesting. It was used to store remains of many many people who died in various wars, plagues that dotted European history and about 200 years ago someone decided to make all those skulls a little bit artistic. I can safely say there is nowhere else quite like it. Just note it's undergoing a big renovation.
