The Sedlec Ossuary is a rare example of a burial chapel transformed into a permanent work of macabre art. The bone arrangements are intentional, symbolic, and historically documented, offering insight into medieval burial practices and Christian attitudes toward death. For day-trip visitors, it provides a short, focused visit that adds cultural and historical depth beyond Kutná Hora’s silver mines.
