3192_Hallstatt_bone_chapel

The Catholic church in Hallstatt has this funky bone chapel. There's only so much room in the ground,
so after 10 years or so, they used to take the bones out and stack them in this little chapel, decorating
the skulls with names and such. Definitely unusual but not the only one I've seen in Europe.
