Sedlec Ossuary

You are not allowed to take pictures inside. You have to buy entrance tickets either online, or around the corner from up the street there is a store that sells entry tickets. A standard ticket gets you entry into sedlec ossuary and a church around the corner from where you buy entrance tickets from. Highly recommend going to that church as well.. the paintings are stunning.

The big attraction in Kutna Hora. Interesting church with bones inside. We purchased our tickets in advance but there is a ticket office down the street from the church. We took the train from Prague and a short bus ride to the church.

Fascinating and beautiful place. No photos are allowed inside but there is a small gift shop which sells a couple of postcards with images from inside the chapel.

The ossuary is a small basement, can be seen in 10 to 15 minutes. Nevertheless, the trip is worth it. The cemetery has a lot of interesting information too, and the Mary’s Ascension Cathedral is very close. Good visit spot.

Really interesting small place (no photos allowed, my are taken from outside and church)

Nice church/monastry. Uniqe; the posibility to walk on top of the arched ceilings. You can see the structural works wich almost nowhere is allowed. Free entrance. Enough parkingspace ,also for free.

My first recommendation is to buy a digital combination ticket online before you travel. The ticket is valid for up to a year, so you don't have to pick a date. They don't sell tickets at the ossuary, so if you have a digital ticket with you, you can just scan and go and don't have to make your way to the visitor centre 150 meters away.

If you like ossuaries, you'll love this one. It's definitely macabre, but so beautiful! Bones and skulls have been arranged into intricate sculptures and decorations, it's stunning to look at!
It's a rather small church, but if this kind of thing interests you, you'll have plenty to look at. It's currently under renovation, so parts of the church are blocked off with scaffolding and tarps, but it's still a stunning place to visit.

Very close to other sights in Kutna Hora, so absolutely worth the trip down.

Its worth a visit if you are in Prague. Only 45 minutes with the train.
The Ossuary is in a small basement. Its something very different. Just a very strange feeling to see something like this.

I came to this country just to see this and was more Amazing then I expect, wonderful and unbelievable art… I’ll be back when they fish the restoration but still it’s almos 90% done and it’s look awesome 👏🏼

Not for the faint of heart 🙏
Very, very unusual place!!
They write that the bones of more than 60,000 dead people 🙏

Useful for teenagers, for children in question.

Holy place, strong energy🙏

Must visit

This place is amazing! it's very much smaller than it looks in the pictures but the way the bones and skulls are arranged is really something else. The chandelier was my favourite section. Easy to get to and has a graveyard outside also. Very different place to visit!

Worth a 1 hour trip on train from Prague. Train was late like 20 min, so pay attention. Once you're in Sedlec it's an easy 15 min walk to the church. Tickets are not sold there, you have to go back about 200m and buy it in info building. The amount of bones and skulls will send chills on your spine.

We visited as part of a tour with Viking Cruises. We only spent about 20 minutes inside. No pictures are allowed inside. They are in the process of restoring the stacks of bones. It was nice to see one completed stack, but the other stacks are in disarray, and will reorganized as part of their continuing renovation/restoration.

This is worth the trip from Prague. Very easy to get to by train! Make sure you buy your tickets from the information centre before heading up to the church as they don’t sell tickets at the church.

Although the church is full of bones it is not “creepy” in anyway but instead quite spiritual. There is no photography allowed.

There are guides you can hire from the town to give you a tour however the audio guide you can get inside the church along with the pamphlet is all you really need!

There are souvenirs at both the I go centre and in the church at reasonable prices and helps keep the church “alive” as they get no other funding!

The lady at the info center is super helpful!

It was the most amazing place I had ever seen.
It is said that the bones of 60 thousands people were used, and I was amazed at the hard work and persistence that went into it.
Bones have a scary image, but here they were beautiful.

Absolutely Unreal, such a surreal experience.

Definitely advise the trip, we used a guided tour across the Ossuary and Gothic cathedrals, I'd probably avoid the tour( it's a little repetitive) everything worth seeing is easy to find and there's plenty of information around the town.

Amazingly strange place! I had the curriculum almost to myself for a few minutes before a bus tour arrived, and cherished the opportunity to view the displays unencumbered. The church is small, and though all large displays are pictured in many articles about the church, visiting in person is highly recommended. Don't miss the chapel above, with an exhibition on conservation efforts and ongoing construction to improve the visitor experience and maintain the serenity on the graveyard.

While visiting Prague, Czech Republic we took the train to Kutná Hora to explore this unique church. The bones of people have been arranged as decorations and lamps. Piles of skulls are also stored there. #CulturalLandmarks_KutnaHora

Thousands of human bones arranged in intricate patterns, chandeliers made of skulls and dim lightning create a chilling and haunting atmosphere. A humbling reminder of our own mortality. Wanted to visit the place ever since I have seen it on the pictures over 30 years ago.

This is the first time I’ve visited an ossuary in person and it’s a very different experience from watching on television. It certainly sent a shiver down my spine initially and takes a minute to get used to seeing all these bones and human skulls. The skulls are all tastefully arranged into religious imagery and decoration.

Most people seem to skip the upstairs chapel which is worth going to as there's also an interesting video about the renovation work. From the balcony of the chapel there's a better view of the cemetery of the church grounds.

Definitely worth the day trip from Prague to see this.
