The City of Kutna Hora<\/strong>

Originally a silver mining town, Kutna Hora is now known for two of its religious sites: the Kostnice Ossuary and the Church of Saint Barbara.<\/p>\n

Kostnice Ossuary in Kutna Hora<\/strong>
\nBuilt in 1511, the Kostnice Ossuary was erected for the purpose of housing human bones. The building today contains the bones of about 40,000 people. <\/p>\n

The ossuary boasts macabre sights such as a chandelier made from every bone in the human body.<\/p>\n
