Take a look inside the chilling interior of an ancient underground chapel decorated with the remains of thousands of people.
The holy building, located in the Czech Republic, is known as the “Bone Church”. It was built under the grounds of a former cemetery,
According to theSun, after the former cemetery was founded in the 1200s, it quickly filled up, and had become the final resting place of over 30,000 people by the 1400s.
With no more room to bury anyone else, all the remains were eventually dug up and moved to the underground chapel, where piles of bones were stacked up in sinister pyramids.
Until 1870, the heaps of human remains stood piled up in the chapel, before a noble family hired an artist called František Rint to turn the bones into deathly decorations.
Now the remains of over 40,000 people adorn the chapel walls, with the bones of as many as 70,000 deceased Czechs decorating the creepy building, which sits underground the Cemetery Church of All Saints in the picturesque town of Sedlec.
This is certainly a place you really would not want to spend the night in.
