This chapel located in Sedlec, Czech Republic is decorated with human bones of over 40,000 people. They are decorated in arrangements like bells, furnitures as well as a chandelier. The history behind this chapel was that a plague struck the town of Kutna Hora during the Black Death (one of the deadliest pandemics in human history) in the mid 14th century and killed many people and the local cemetery had no more space for bodies to be buried. The Sedlec Chapel was then built as an ossuary to deposit the bones.
