The Sedlec Ossuary in the Czech Republic is a chapel decorated with 40,000 to 70,000 human bones arranged into artistic displays including chandeliers, coats of arms, and pyramids of skulls; it began construction in 1400 after a monk returned from Jerusalem and scattered holy soil over the cemetery, where thousands died during the Black Death and Hussite Wars, and when the cemetery overflowed, the bones were exhumed and arranged inside, making it the most visited tourist attraction in the Czech Republic and one of the strangest places on Earth.
