About this cemetery

The Sedlec cemetery surrounds the Church of All Saints and its ossuary in Sedlec, now part of Kutná Hora. The church was originally part of the Cistercian monastery at Sedlec, and before 1400 Abbot Heidenreich founded a large new cemetery near the monastery, consecrated with earth from Calvary in the Holy Land. The ossuary beneath the church is decorated almost entirely with human bones.
