The Boney Church | Praque

Posted on 09:00 by john mical
A small chapel located beneath the Roman Catholic All Saints Church in Praque is made of human bones. Yes, it's made out of the remains of people--40,000 of which contributed to the construction of the chapel's architecture and furnishings. Created back in 1870, its formal name is Sedlec's All Saint Ossuary but its nickname is "The Bone Church."
