About Kutna Hora Ossuary
The Ossuary in Kutná Hora, also known as the Sedlec Ossuary or the Bone Church, is a unique and captivating historical site located in the Czech Republic. Situated beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints in the small town of Kutná Hora, this ossuary is renowned for its striking and macabre decorations made entirely of human bones. The ossuary's origins date back to the 13th century when the church was built atop a cemetery. In the 15th century, the bones were exhumed and later arranged in intricate designs by a local woodcarver, František Rint, in the 18th century. The Ossuary in Kutná Hora serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of life and the universality of mortality, while also showcasing the creativity and artistry of human craftsmanship across the centuries.

We were very happy with our trip with Juri. He was a very safe driver in a comfortable van that accommodated all 5 of us. He customized our trip based on our timeline and interests. He picked out a wonderful restaurant when we stopped for lunch. I would highly recommend Sidetrip 👍
