Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, and how about 70 kilometers
east the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague, lies a small town called
Sedlec. It might have been an ordinary enough town, if not for its
extraordinary chaple.The inside of this chaple is decorated with
artworks made of real human b0nes. The story begins in 1218, when a
certain Abbot Henry made a pilgrimage to the h0ly land and brought back a
jar full of soil from cemetery, which he spread over the Chaple. As a
result the chaple came to be regarded as more sacred and turned into a
popular burial spot.By 1318, more than 30,000 b0dies were buried there
and by 1511, it had become necessary to remove the older b0nes to make
place for the new ones. These later became the material for the mac@bre
creations.In 1870 a local woodcarver was hired by the Duke of
Shwartzenberg to decorate the inside of the chaple with the human
remains (approximately 40,000 sets of human b0nes). Now it is one of the
most extraordinary church in the whole world.... Boney Chaple - isn't
it morbidly amazing??? Attached are some of the pictures of this Boney
Church - its simply astonishing. More images after the break...
