Church of Bones

Our last stop on the way out of the Czech Republic (other than the one at the petrol station to allow people to spend all of their left over Krona on sweets) was at the famous Church of Bones.

Inside the church are the bones of over 30,000 people who wanted to be buried on sacred ground, but due to the plague there was little space available and so they were stored within the walls of the church. Some time later a half blind monk (no I'm not making this up!) was commissioned to pile the bones up, and in doing so he created some off the most morbid interior design since Lawrence Lewellyn Bowen.
