ossuary / kostnice (bone church)

很酷的是里面有繁体中文的简介纸(只有一份的样子)要去之前觉得还好,进去后有shock到,有点吓人,不过还是和一同去的同学在里面拍的照片

Do take your time to enjoy the sight inside this Chapel before clicking your cameras. By just gazing the structure inside the building will give you an unique experience as this is a total different attraction of Prague.

It is a quick stop if you are in Kutna Hora/Sedlec. We were only there about half an hour. However, it truly is remarkable to see the sheer quantity of bones and their artful arrangement. The history behind the reason for all of the bones' presence there is fascinating, as well. (the plague, Hessite wars, etc.) It is a must-see if you are in the area.

This little church should be on everyone's bucket list, as it's hard to imagine if you haven't seen it. My wife and I went there on an optional tour when we visited Prague. Most everything in the little church is made of bones. There are mounds of skulls, chandeliers made of bones, bones everywhere. I was somehow reminded of all the festivals in Mexico that feature human skeletons. Everything is photogenic, if a bit macabre. We were told it was constructed to remind people of their mortality, as if they needed reminding. Definitely worth a visit.

This is worth a visit as I'm sure there is nothing like it elsewhere in the world. You'd think it'd be eerie but it wasn't surprisingly. Just amazing how all the bones decorate the building, it was something worth seeing.

Almost 2 hrs away from Prague is the Bone church. I always wanted to go there. The story is amazing and the site too.. 6 mounts of skulls and human bones are inside the church. The chandelier is adorned with human skills and bones as well as the crosses on the walls. In addition to the bone church there are 2 more near by that are also considered a world heritage site. The closest is still under renovation and nothing spectacular was there. The other one on the hill that is a 10 minute car drive is beautiful , The bone church is a one time site to remember. To get there we rented a private cab driver for the day.

The tour we got cost €60 for the two of us and included the bus, lunch and trips to Kutna Hora and Sedlek.Seeing KH makes it well worth the money, give this place a visit - you get a real sense of the post-Communist depression which overtook the town, but also the resurgence in the economy is apparent. A really good insight as to everyday Czech life. Sedlek, I can't laud the place enough. It's an experience which has to be seen to be believed. It's like walking into the dream of a crazy lunatic. That's the Cistercians for you! It had me terrified but simultaneously overwhelmed with sadness. Some of the skulls are really small. :'(We were fortunate to have with us a lovely tour guide, unfortunately some very rude Japanese tourists and some pretty aloof Germans, but the Americans were friendly and nice. At the end of the trip, we got a CD with loads of info and pictures at the end of the tour, great day out! Be sure to tip the guide if they do a good job because they don't get paid what they deserve at all.

This church is a mandatory site to visit in Czech Republic. It is just 1 hour from Prague, and the trip is also pleasant. Kutna Hora also has many other interesting sites.

I don't think I ever visited chapel like this one. There is about 40000 remains of people decorated as chandelier or pyramids or the Schwarzenberg Coat of Arms. But I have to say, that I have to leave after while, it made me little sick to look at those bones.

A took a tour to Kutna Hora and to especially see this church, on the basis of a friend's recommendation that I MUST visit this bone church when in Prague / Czech Republic as it is amazing. I should have known better. My friend and I often have differing opinions on films and books, and it does appear that this extends to churches and tourist attractions too.The church is rather small, full of tourists like myself, with bones hung and displayed ornamently throughout. It is a curiousity for sure, rather different, and one is left feeling a bit sorry and sombre for the poor souls who passed away, and whose remains are now placed as they are.But, whilst an ok curiousity, I don't think the church is that amazing to warrant a full day out to see it (from Prague) together with a tour of the Kutna Hora region.

Yup, it is a lot of bones arranged artistically. It was like an overly elaborate Halloween display...except the bones are real. Add to that the size of the place (small) and the numbers of people there (lots and lots), means it was hardly the quiet, respectful resting place it could have been. Am I glad I saw it? Yes. Is it all that? No. FYI: lots of stairs right at the door, so leave your stroller outside and take turns checking the place out. I take a ton of pictures, and even I wasn't there for more than 15 minutes.

Only left half a day before we catch a train to Munich, we had to visit this place as this is something we have not seen in Europe. It's a fair bit of walk from the train station about half hour but amazing experience to feel and see how bone remains are used and placed. It's a fashion on the way the bones are laid and yet something dark when entering. One of our members actually felt dizzy upon entering. Good to proceed if you have no worries on looking deep into the skeletons.

The Ossuary at Kutna Hora is supposed to have the remains of something like 40,000 people there, and they have certainly found an impressive way to display those! The intricate structures of the bone pyramids are impressive as are the chandelier and other displays. It isn't somewhere to spend a long time - I would say an hour, tops in the Ossuary itself - but definitely worth a visit. Entry fee is 90Kc for an adult into the Ossuary only, with discounted tickets for the other attractions nearby.

Quite small yet unique in its macabre interior. Highly recommend to visit this place since seeing bones and skulls in this fashion is quite unlikely anywhere else. If you know people who keep coming back here, you may be advised to worry a little.

Amazing use of human remains, felt a bit odd to be staring at so many human skeletal parts arranged in such odd ways.
