Just outside Prague, there is a church with a difference. It is in a place called Sedlec, just a small little village next to an old silver mining town called Kutna Hora (careful how you say that). Kutna Hora was important until the mid 18th century and at one time was probably Czech's second city, but now it is just a quaint little village, and Sedlec is a small offshoot of that. The Ossuary there is decorated with the bones of over 40000 people.
