About Kutná Hora and The Ossuary Tour from Prague

Escape Prague for a hauntingly unforgettable day trip to Kutná Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage town once rich from silver mines and now famous for its eerie bone chapel. This six-hour guided tour takes you through scenic Bohemian countryside to discover Gothic architecture, medieval frescoes, and the ossuary decorated with over 40,000 human bones.

Local Legends & Stories

Legend has it that the bones in the ossuary belong to as many as 40,000 people, though some say the number could reach a million. During the Black Death and Hussite Wars, the nearby cemetery at Sedlec was so overwhelmed with deaths that bones were later rearranged into the stunning decorative art you see today.

Must Do Experiences

  • Explore the Gothic St. Barbara's Church and marvel at its soaring flying buttresses and medieval frescoes

  • Visit the Sedlec Ossuary and witness the breathtaking chandelier, coat of arms, and bone pyramids

  • Wander through the beautifully preserved Old Town of Kutná Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage site

  • Learn about the town's silver mining glory days that once rivaled Prague's wealth

Hidden Gems

  • The ossuary's creator, František Rint, arranged the bones in 1906 into an intricate family coat of arms — look closely for the details

  • St. Barbara's Church was originally built for the miners, and its underground chapels still hold a haunting atmosphere

  • The town's Italian Court (Crucifixion) is a stunning example of late Gothic architecture tucked away from the main squares

What Makes it Special

  • The only bone chapel of its kind in the world, making this an experience you truly cannot find elsewhere

  • A perfect blend of macabre fascination and genuine historical significance that captivates every visitor

  • The contrast between Kutná Hora's elegant Gothic heritage and its grim underground bone cathedral creates an unforgettable journey

Overview

One of the most popular tourist sites in the Czech Republic, this six hour round-trip guided tour takes you through lush Bohemian countryside, and to the once-mighty town of Kutná Hora. The gruesome highlight is undoubtedly the chapel at Kutná Hora, which is made of human bones. Yup, a chapel. Made of human bones.The Old Town of Kutná Hora is a gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage site. At one point Kutná Hora's riches rivaled Prague's thanks to its silver mines. This guided tour will give you a better understanding of the history of Bohemia, and will also show you the most artfully arranged human bones you'll ever see.Located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints, the Sedlec Ossuary is a chilling display of the skeletal fragments of 40,000-70,000 people. Let your tour guide explain how it came to be. All Saints was a 13th century church that ran out of grave space but it wasn’t until 1870 that František Rint got creative with its contents. Here stands a chandelier made of every bone of the human body, over there, a column of skulls, and over there a coat of arms made of - what else? - arms. Afterwards you'll board the bus back to Prague, in touch with the lush countryside, and the all-too fleeting nature of our own existence. Make sure to treat yourself to the rest of your when you make it back to Prague. Life's too short for naps.
