 Located in Kutna Hora Czech Republic and dating from the 13th century Sedlec Ossuary was a desired place to be buried after an Abbott brought back a handfull of dirt from Jerusalem site of Jesus' burial. Before long there were too many bodies to be buried and a crypt was built and in 1870 the bones of over 30,000 people were organized into decorations for the crypt. The chandelier pictured has at least one of every bone in the human body.

Makes me think of 1980's heavy metal video location, could spend hours just sitting there looking, listening and feeling the history

This is a cool location but unfortunately this looks a bit grainy and not quite in focus.
