Czech Republic's famous 'Church of Bones' is now banning selfies.
Situated an hour away from Prague in the town of Kutna Hora, the Sedlec Ossuary is a small 15th century Roman Catholic chapel containing an astonishing sight.
There are skeletons belonging to over 40,000 people, many of which were victims of the Black Death and the Hussite Wars.
Bones exhumed when the church was further extended were arranged into displays during the 19th century, decorating the interior in the most imaginative of ways.
The filmer commented that while she wouldn't want to spend a night here in the chapel alone, it is a fitting memorial to the people of the area, of times past, and they are respectfully remembered.
The video was filmed on September 20.
