Beneath this rather charming small church about fifty miles outside Prague is an ossuary - a place decorated entirely with bones. See wikipedia here
Very halloween-y and a bit disturbing.
Written in the bones...
A bone chandelier.
A pile of the same...
Part of the family crest.
After that a change of scenery and another part of the town
with terraced gardens
St Barbara's Cathedral
and a restaurant with a garden and a wood pile
and a pail beneath the Virginia creeper.
Rather creepy - I rather think I saw a similar ossuary years ago in Paris.
ReplyDeleteVery creepy. I don't like it at all.
ReplyDeleteBut St. Barbara's Cathedral, Brilliant !
cheers, parsnip
That ossuary is fascinating. Perfect for an October blog post.
ReplyDeleteMy last post was about all the "barbara" coincidences near my birthday- now you've given me another one- St. Barbara's Cathedral.
Barbara
I have never seen anything like it, quite fascinating but gruesome.
ReplyDeleteAlthough we drove through what is now the Check (spelling!) republic we did not see this place nor the bone church (which I'm rather glad I did not!) Interesting.
