@stijn: It is a chapel of bones, usually a building in which the remains are placed, found around parts of Europe, from Portugal to Russia. This one is in The Czech Republic.

Stunning! works amazingly in b&w, I hope you have more from the Ossuary Richard.
a very artistic use for human remains.

I knew even from the preview n the community page that it's Kutna Hora... I have been there some 4 years ago as well :-) unfortunately that time without camera

@ttomasso: I have taken groups of students to Czech Rep for about last ten years, and have visited Kutna Hora more than once, and always find the Ossuary a sttrangely compelling place to visit

I saw an ossuary once, I still think about it very often, i'm been traumatized with that, I was young. Your photo is very impressive!
