Kutná Hora is a city east of Prague. It is famous for the Gothic St. Barbara’s Church with medieval frescoes and flying buttresses. An even more famous site located in this city is the Sedlec Ossuary, a chapel adorned with human skeletons, which was the prime motivation for my visit to Kutná Hora. I was excited to visit the famous ossuary that housed the human remains and was in awe of how something so macabre could be made into such a work of art – so intricate and breathtaking… in an absolutely horrifying sense. I was driven by child-like curiosity. Hastily getting out of the car and making my way to the ossuary, I felt more wired with each step, as I drew closer to the site’s entrance.
Stepping into the ossuary, I took a deep breath and just admired the sight before me. Below are photos of what welcomes you in the interior of the entrance.
And below are photos of the inner chamber of the ossuary.
Back up into the sunny streets of Kutná Hora, just down the street, is the Gothic and baroque Cathedral of the Assumption.
As mentioned earlier, a big draw to Kutná Hora is its Saint Barbara’s Church, which is a Roman Catholic church constructed in the style of a Cathedral, and is sometimes referred to as the Cathedral of St. Barbara. It is one of the most famous Gothic churches in central Europe and it is now a UNESCO world heritage site.
Below are photos of the beautiful church and its surrounding areas.
On our way out of Kutná Hora, we passed by more medieval looking structures.
