Skeleton, skull church. Church of bones. Underneath the city slept 50,000 people until they were found by accident in 2001. There was what looked like a human shaped chute above one of the passages. I should have filmed it but forgot.
Brno Ossuary is home victims of Plague, cholera (slightly yellowy bones) and war. This is currently known as the 2nd largest Ossuary in Europe.
The crypt was eventually opened in 2012 after restoration.
Many crypts were abolished for hygiene reasons in the late 1700's. They were paved over and forgotten. Although flooding had ravaged through the neatly stacked bodies, many of them were still intact.
They've started popping all around Europe. It is morbid as much as it is fascinating, it tells us a lot about our anthropology and history. Bizarre but eerily beautiful.
