Just 1 hour train ride from Prague is the little town of Kutna Hora. Kutna Hora is famous for one thing, the Bone church. This little gothic church is literally covered with human bones. The bones of approximately 40,000 people (victims of the plague) are decoratively arranged on the walls, on the ceilings, and as fittings like chandeliers. This work can be attributed to a half-blind (and half-mad) monk in the 14th Century. The church is just fascinating and was well worth the trip but I didn’t pick up any interior decorating ideas.
