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.

Situated on one side of the beautiful Old Town Square, the Gothic Church of Our Lady Before Tyn is an arcitectural wonder, with two towers covered with spires, pinnacles and other decorations. It looks great during the daytime and even better brilliantly lit up at night. Inside it has a high, narrow nave with gold and black Baroque altars. There is also an excellent winged altar depicting John the Baptist dating back to 1520 and the tomb of the astronomer Tycho Brahe.
