Bone Church, Kutna Hora



Back in the late 1890s, the church at Kutna Hora gave the OK to a local woodcutter to get creative with the bones of 40,000 people buried there. The result is a fantastical array of weird bone sculptures, including a chandelier featuring every bone in the human body. Kutna Hora is 66 kilometres from Prague and makes a nice day trip, but pick your train carefully so you don't endure too many stops.
