– city with rich history, silver mining and a well known bone church

was established around 1142 with the first Cistercian monastery in Bohemia, the Sedlec Monastery. The city then became famous for mining of silver in its mountain region which the Germans called Kuttenberg, and which was part of the monk’s property. The name is derived from „Kutten“ (monks’ cowls) or „kutání“ which in old Czech means mining. The earliest traces of silver date back to the 10th century and silver dinars have been discovered in the settlement of Malín (which is part of Kutná Hora) belonging to the period 982-995 AD. From the 13th to 16th centuries the city competed with Prague economically, culturally and politically. Since 1995 the Kutna Hora has been proclaimed a UNESCO, world heritage site.

Bone Church

Aside from the melting pot of royal mints, the little town of Kutna Hora has attracted millions of tourists from different parts of the globe to come and feel what its like to visit the Ossuary or more commonly known as the Bone Church. This is the resting place of over 40,000 bones from different people who donated their family’s remains to the Church. It is one landmark to visit for your travel since it would surely give you the creeps. Since they are human bones artfully laid out, you surely would gasp in awe and respect to the builders of such place.
