Kutna Hora

So both last year and this fall, our company held a two-day training in Kutna Hora (a small former mining town about an hour east of Prague).  While I took these pictures last year, I realized I never really posted them.  So, since I was just there, here's a look at lovely Kutna Hora, Czech Republic including a visit to the "Bone Church."

Kostnice, Sedlec Ossuary - Bone Church

During the plague, over 40,000 people were buried in the site of this cathedral.  In 1511, the bones were placed in these
sculptures by a half-blind monk to create an All Saints memorial.
