The Sedlec Ossuary contains a decorative display of some 40000 skeletons below the town's All Saints Church. A suburb of Kutna Hora, Sedlec's Skeleton Cathedral dates to about 1870 when a woodcarver was hired to place bone heaps unearthed in constructing a new church in order. A church has been on the site since 1278.
