Bone ossuary in Kutna Hora

Every European country we go, we will take a short excursion out of the main city. Like in Amsterdam, we went to Koog-Zandjik to see the windmill, in Italy, we went to Lake Garda. Around Prague, there are many other small tourist attraction town. My neighbour went to a spa town and took a bath there. I went to Kutna Hora to visit the Bone Ossuary.

*From the train station look… it looks like a dead city…. i know i know -_-

Kutna Hora is the 2nd most important city after Prague in the Bohemian empire during the 13th century and it has the largest silver mine in Europe at that time and serve its purpose as the main city that produce silver coins for the whole Europe.

Watch out! This skull is so cute ^^. It’s on the path leading to the church.

This is the Sedlec Kostnice / Bone ossuary / Church of Bones / Bone museum / etc.

The ossuary contains approximately 40,000-70,000 human skeletons which have been used to decorate the chapel. The Black Death in the mid of 14th century took away more than 30 000 lives in Kutna Hora and then followed by the Hussite War in the early 15th century which claimed more lives. Cemetery had to be enlarged and they need more burial space. But later one a church was build in the middle of the cemetery and many graves unearthed during the construction. The lower part of the church were made into an ossuary to keep the unearthed skeletons.

They said the job of stacking and piling up the bones was given to a half-blind monk. But his kerja must be very teruk that’s why later in 1870, František Rint a woodcarver was given the task to rearrange the bones and put it in order and the result is what we see today.

A lot of people think this place is creepy but my feeling is just like Sunako Nakahara (go watch Perfect girl evolution
aka yamato nadeshiko sichenge
). Hey there’s the femur bone and that’s the tibia. The corner of this chapel is occupied by 4 enormous bell-shaped pile of bones which mainly consist of the skull, the femur and tibia. =D. They used the humerus bone as decorations hanging on the wall, like the previous photo above.

This is the middle part of the chapel.

The word IN’RI above Jesus means Iesvs Nazarenvs, Rex Ivdaeorvm - Jesus from Nazareth, King of the jews.

The Schwarzenberg coat-of-arms. I think this is a beautiful piece of art made from skeletons. I’m impressed by the way the bones were arranged. There you see the jaw bone, rib, vertebrae… ekekeke.

kostnice_8.JPG

The chandelier of bones. It contains at least one of every bone in the human body. This chandelier is very beautiful lor… how i wish I can keep one at home…. but then probably at night I will have a lot of visitors as well.

Laaaagggggiiinnngggg…..

I’m having serious jetlag now. The sun became my moon, the moon became my sun. I was unable to sleep at night even thought my brain is tired. I sit around until 8am only fall asleep. And woke up at 4.30pm. My sleeping cycle has screwed up. Cham.

How do you like my new look of my blog? Kailoon made this few months back but I was unable to put this up bcos want to save bytes mah. (RM200 for 500 MB internet per month… is really… haih). Yesterday kailoon helped me update my WP to the latest version as well, now I’m still trying to adapt to this version. I’m having a bit problem with uploading the photos n so. =D But be patient with me, more photos will come up soon at least before Fooie comes back from Singapore tomolo nite.

I still having cultural shock now. Petrol price increased, citizens’ lives should became more difficult but instead I saw a lot of young girls carrying branded handbag. Not sure if it’s the fake one sold in Petaling street. I went hospital for check up the other day, there was this lady wearing LV sandals and carrying LV handbag and the next day when I stepped in Zara in MV I saw many young girls with Gucci, Fendi, LV handbags and also with that bitchy arrogant look. These girls typically will scan other girls from head to toe to recognise their opponent on par with them.

Like my friend said, sugar daddy lor. The easiest way to find money is to be someone mistress.

Lake Garda - almost like heaven.

I’ve always longed for a tranquil, quiet place. Somewhere close to nature; the sun, the mountain, the sea and away from people.

I thought this kind of place will only exist in the movie or in dream. I never thought that I would find it in Italy. The Lake Garda (Largo di Garda) really amazed me. Ken’s friend stumbled upon this place accidentally last year and he recommended us to visit there. So here I am at Lake Garda……swimming playing with water. Hehehe… I’ll drown cos I forgotten how to swim. Almost 2 years didn’t go into swimming pool, I admit that I’m really really bad at sports =P.

Lake Garda is the biggest lake in Italy, 9th largest lake in Europe. It’s size is equals to 50,000 football pitch. The water is crystal clear, blue and clean and the current on the water surface makes it looks like the sea. The beauty of Lake Garda is unable to be describe by words. It is just so beautiful. Even guys also more handsome there. (I stayed in href=”http://www.casabarca.com”>Hotel Casa Barca and the owner very lengchai and tall ler. He looks like Dr. House a bit.)

Water sports and sun bathing are popular here. You have no idea how many boobies I saw that day. Don’t want to elaborate more, use ur imagination. =P

The Lake is surrounded by tall mountains and small towns. One of the most famous mountains there is Mt. Baldo in the town of Macelsine. Check here for the list of towns around Lake Garda.

We took cable car up to the peak of Mt. Baldo, which is 1700m above sea level (or lake level?). It is so cool to be on top of a mountain. I feel so close to the sky and I could almost catch the clouds at this height. But the experience when coming down the mountain scares the hell outta me.

Yea, almost because we can’t catch the clouds as you know clouds are not solid, could only feel the cool breeze when the clouds passed through my body. It feels so nice and refreshing. For the first time, I touched a cloud indirectly. Lol.

The sun is so close to earth and that’s why I’m so tanned now! =(… Shit… now my legs and arms got 2 tones.

Even me photos taken on top of mountain looks prettier. =P

Hiking, mountain biking, paragliding are popular activites here during summer.

When I stand here, it makes me wanna sing “The sound of music”.

Oh there were moo moo cows there too. Wah, like Fern leaf milk ads, 母牛喝清洁的水,吃新鲜的草 will produce good milk.

Humans are amazing creature. I wonder how did they climb up to such a high place and live there.

I super duper love Lake Garda. It is the best place in Italy. Forget about Rome, the transport system there sucks. Venice is too boring and Gondola ride cut throat. Milan is to tipu stupid rich people, the price for LV, Gucci, Burberry is like so much more expensive than other cities.
