Kutna Hora & Sedlec Kutna Hora & Sedlec No Data

Description


Kutna Hora, located about 80KM was once home to the silver industry in the Czech Republic. The location became so wealthy that more people wanted to be buried in the small chapel in Sedlec than it could cope with, but that didn't stop people. In the end over 40,000 sets of remains had piled up and something had to be done. That something was the ossuary at Sedlec

Charge




Getting There

Trains to Kutna Hora (Hlavni nadrazi) leave from Praha Hlavni Nadrazi (the main central station) and take about 65 minutes. From Kutna Hora station you can either get a bus straight into Kutna Hora or walk about 1/4 mile to the Ossuary as the station is in fact in Sedlec. From the station walk up the road towards the road bridge and turn up the side road so that you come up onto the road that was running over the railway. After a short while you will come to the Philip Morris factory/museum and a church and down a side street on the other side of the road you should be able to make out a small chapel. This is the ossuary.
