3The Church OF All Saints (Sedlec, Czech Republic)

During the mid 14th century, the region’s famed Abbot of the monastery made a trip to the Holy Land and returned with soil from Golgotha. The soil was thrown all over the Abbey grounds. Soon everyone in the nation wanted have their burial in Sedlec. The earlier “occupants” of the famous cemetery had to be slowly exhumed to make way for new burials. Finally, a local woodcarver suggested using 40,000 bones for creating eerie looking church ornaments.

What You Need to Know: Don’t miss the absolutely unbelievable bone chandelier that suspends off the church’s ceiling. Another sinister piece of art is the a severed piece of head being pecked by a bird made of, nor surprisingly, bones!
