O
Rýchle fakty: A haunting chandelier suspended in the nave is assembled from every type of human bone, and the chapel's fittings include an intricately arranged coat of arms formed from skulls and femurs. Visitors often describe an uncanny hush and the flicker of candlelight across rows of skulls, turning the space into a strangely beautiful, macabre gallery.
Zaujímavosti: Step inside a tiny Gothic chapel and you are met by a chandelier made from at least one of every human bone, hanging above an arrangement of some 40,000 skeletons. Local legend says a 19th century woodcarver named František Rint organized the macabre display in 1870, carving a blackened wooden altar and arranging skulls into a family coat of arms that still creaks faintly when the winter wind presses through the stone.
Insiderské tipy
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light jacket, the chapel is small and often cool and damp.
- Photography is allowed without flash, avoid tripods and watch your head in low vaults when framing shots near the chandelier.
- Visit early at opening to beat coach arrivals, or go late afternoon when crowds thin.
- Allow time to step into side naves for quieter views and to read carved dates and inscriptions.

Robil som tieto prehliadky v desiatkach miest a boli vrcholom takmer každej cesty. Ak navštívite Kutna Hora, Czechia, urobte to v prvý deň. Poďakujete mi neskôr.
