Them Bones

This place is beyond words (but I'll try to use them anyway).


Welcome to Hell. I mean, the Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic. You can get more pertinent background information from the church's official website at www.kostnice.cz. If you're an Anglophone, choose "English" on the homepage and then click on "Ossuary."

Without the necessary background history concerning the church - the short of it involves sprinkles of Golgotha, the Black Death, and a macabre interior decorator - you'd think a video game demon with a slightly cliched style (for video game demon standards, that is) lives there. Or at the very least, it's a million and a half heavy metal album covers come to life.


I totally want to go there one day.
