Sedlec Ossuary

aka, how to be surrounded by the bones of at least 40,000 people.

from the exterior it seems quite small

descending

the chandelier

much of the plaster work is crumbling just to make the whole ossuary just that bit more creepy to our modern sensabilities

Our Lady Cathedral-Sedlec

understated Baroque

yay! decorated saint skeleton! (2 catacomb saints at this cathedral)

too elegant

some crazy paving at the altar
