Is the church with many bones in Czech a tourist destination? Is it horrible?

Kost elik Vech savtych a kost nici, located in Kutnahola, a small town about 70km east of Prague, was built in14th century. Its exterior looks like a very ordinary Gothic building, but its interior decoration is all made of human bones, so it is a "museum of human bones" rather than a church.

An abbot who made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem scattered the soil he brought back on the ground. Since then, all famous families are proud to be buried here. /kloc-a black death in the 0/4th century,/kloc-a war in the 0/5th century, which caused more than 30,000 graves in this 3,500-square-meter clearing! /kloc-in the 0 th and 6 th centuries, some priests began to move bones into churches and pile them into pyramids. Because there are too many bones, some people simply regard them as decorative materials, which leads to the birth of the human bone church. The ceiling and walls of the church are decorated with human bones. According to statistics, these decorations used about 1 10,000 bones. Theologians say that Catholicism regards death as a sacred thing, and after death, it gives the body to God as the supreme symbol of praise, so "human bone ornaments" are not worth making a fuss about. The human bone hall is very small, and it can be walked in two or three minutes. But the ingenious art of human bones can't help but make people stop and admire. I only saw 40,000 pairs of sterilized and screened bones, the same size, carefully used to build candlesticks, altars, holy grails, lintels, arches, pendants and even crosses. The most amazing thing is the "human bone chandelier" in the center of the church, which is caused by the bones of various parts of the human body. The main frame consists of leg bones, and the mandible is strung into a curtain. The main frame is divided into eight leg bone lamp holders, which support pelvic bone blocks arranged in circles, and each lamp holder has a head as a candlestick. It has a unique shape and seems to be attached to the soul of the dead. It is evil and strange, with a little awesome brilliance.

At the entrance of the church, there are 120 wax tables made of human bones. The ceiling is covered with bones of limbs, and the carpet on the wall is decorated with human bones. The altar is made of human bones of different sizes, and the pattern is inlaid with ribs. Ornaments such as crosses, crowns and pendants can be seen everywhere here, and they are all made up of bones in various parts. But surprisingly, these bones belong to adult men, and they have nail holes and marks of being stabbed by swords. This "museum of human bones" is usually heavily guarded and is only open to the public on Sundays.

Accumulate so many bones, thanks to the holy land. /kloc-in the 3rd century, Henry, the abbot of Cedrake Monastery, went to the Holy Land on the orders of Bohemian King Okta II, brought back a handful of dirt and scattered it in the cemetery around the church. The belief that you can go to heaven by burying your bones in the holy land attracted Bohemia, and even the rich in Central Europe regarded it as the best place behind you, so Seldek was famous far and near. Later, the Black Death and the Hus War caused a large number of deaths, and the scale of the cemetery also expanded. /kloc-during the 0/5th century, due to the limited capacity of the cemetery, the monastery planned to build another small church to accommodate the remains abandoned for more than 100 years. At first, this terrible task was entrusted to a semi-blind monk. During the woodcutter 1870 hired by Schwartzenberg family, Rint began to arrange human bones into various patterns, including Schwartzenberg's family badge and Rint himself.

Walking down the stairs, we are faced with a super luxurious human bone chandelier and a baroque altar composed of four small skull minarets. Standing under the headlights and looking up, it's very good. There are a bunch of skulls on the roof, with faces and bones facing down. I've watched tourists and things change for two centuries.

There are four buildings around the temple, all made of skeletons and big bones, similar to stoves. There are probably thousands of people in each building! Represents a large number of people, no one is qualified to face the crown throne of God, and it makes no difference to death. In the cave, dim candlelight was lit and sprinkled on the snow-white human bones, as if a gloomy cold wind was blowing ... The rest were curtains decorated with bones, crosses, papal crowns and so on.

The mystery of the broken bone church

The following is a novel, which comes from (Overseas Edition June 5438+February 2005/Wei Zi Zhu Jin).

From 2000 to the end of 2004, there were many cases of missing persons in Kunahara, Czech Republic, but it was not until Halloween in 2004 1019 that an American college student mysteriously disappeared in the famous local Santa Barbara Bones Church, which attracted the attention of the police. According to local legend, Bone Morrit will go out to look for bones and add new decorative materials for this human bone church during the week around165438+1October 20th every year. Have these missing people become new victims under the clutches of bone demons? Kunahara fell into a panic. ...

On June 9, 2004 165438+ 10/kloc-0, the bone hall attracted many tourists, and two American college students, Hal and Willie, also visited it. It was a sunny day. When the sun shone into the room through the glass window, you could clearly see the spectacular chandeliers on the ceiling, exquisite pendants and even the letters on the wall. These bones, which exude the smell of death in dark weather, become bright in soft light, giving people a kind of heaven's light and dignity.

After walking around with the commentator, Hal and Willie are still not satisfied. Willie thinks the night here will be more terrible, but Hal laughs and says that even in the middle of the night, these bones will not fly and dance by themselves. At some point, two people argued, and finally Hal and Willie made a bet. Willie offered to let Hal stay in church for one night. If he is afraid, he can call their hotel and ask Willie to get someone to help him. If Hal can hold out until the church opens the next morning, Hal wins, and the bet is $65,438+000.

When closing at night, Hal found a hidden dark corner to hide. Willie wished him good luck and left the church. In the evening, Willie didn't get a call, and the next morning he hurried to the church. But he waited for a long time and didn't see Hal come out. Willie ran into the church and looked for Hal everywhere. The dark church was covered with a strange color before it was completely bright. Hal disappeared like air. In desperation, Willie called the police.

Since the missing tourists are foreign tourists, the police paid special attention after receiving the alarm. Sheriff Ferringer immediately led the police to surround the Bone Church and conduct a comprehensive search. In less than half an hour, the police searched the church. Due to the sudden incident, the church has stopped opening to the outside world, and tourists who entered earlier have also been advised to leave. At this time, there was no one in the church except the police and staff.

Ferringer thought Hal probably left the church by himself, but somehow he didn't get in touch with his companion Willie. So he intends to close the investigation team, contact the city bureau, and issue a search warrant for you throughout the city. Assistant Anton also agreed with Ferringer's decision. At this time, he was standing in front of the altar. Because he waved the police to stop, the dialogue machine got off the belt and flew over the wooden fence into the altar. The heavy dialogue machine hit the edge of the altar and smashed the bone ends of several leg bones. The gray fragments suddenly fell to the ground.

Anton turned pale. These14th century bones are all cultural relics. He climbed over the railing before he could think it over. The staff found the abnormality and ran over, and ordered Anton, who picked up the dialogue machine, to come out of the railing immediately. At this time, Anton casually touched the damaged leg bone and wanted to know if it was just the end of the bone. His hand is stuck. He raised his hand and found it a little greasy. When he touched it again, he pulled out a leg bone.

The police and staff screamed. Will the altar collapse? Anton calmly showed the leg bone in front of them: "This is a fresh human bone. The oil in the bone is slowly oozing out, and the surface will become greasy. From the color and weight, it is very different from old bones in the church for nearly 700 years."

Anton is right. The leg bone he pulled out is presumed to be the original bone of the church after leaving the human body for two to three years under forensic identification, but it can't be Hal's that just disappeared.

After obtaining the permission of the relevant authorities, the police conducted a comprehensive search of all the bones in the church. Four days later, the police found 6 1 piece of fresh bones, including skulls, limbs and other bones, belonging to five people, all adult males, aged between 20 and 50. But through DNA testing, these are not consistent with the DNA of dander and hair on Hal's razor provided by Willie. But these bones don't leave the human body for a long time, the shortest is only a few days, and the longest is no more than five years. According to forensic identification, Anton even speculated that these bones were taken out year by year in five years, and one person was put into the hall of human bones every year.

Legend has it that in the19th century, the Schwartzenberg family, a local aristocratic family, hired a craftsman Rhett, and all the decorations in the human bone church were made by Rhett. But privately, Rhett killed many people in pursuit of a higher artistic realm, and replaced those rotten bones with these fresh bones. But this is only a legend, because Catholicism thinks that death is sacred and giving one's body to God is the supreme praise, so no one sympathizes with Rhett, but for this reason, he is also called "Bone Devil". Because the church reappeared new bones in the 2 1 century, it is said that the bone magic Ritter was reincarnated and chose a sacrifice every year to replace the old bones in the church.

The new bone incident greatly stimulated the public. If the case is not solved as soon as possible, the society will be unstable and will cause great losses. The police began a rigorous investigation.

165438+1October 27th, the last day of the week after Halloween. Before that, a rumor suddenly appeared: On the evening of 27th, Rhett would return to the Bone Hall to make another sacrifice, because the sacrifice before Halloween was disturbed. Because of people's strong fear, the news became a household name at once. Because the Bone Devil specializes in killing adult men, timid citizens will stay at home in the afternoon, but bold people intend to surround the church and find out the true form of this murderous demon. Sheriff Ferringer and the police persuaded the angry citizens to leave after saying good and bad things. Ferringer is going to stay alone in the church and wait for Rhett.

At night, 50 policemen ambushed outside the hall of human bones, and all entrances and exits were heavily guarded. Sheriff Ferringer refused the suggestion of his subordinates to act with him and stayed alone in the church with a gun and a bag of food.

The month of 65438+ February was already extremely cold, and the police officers stamped their feet and waited for the news of the sheriff. During the day, the magnificent church became as ferocious as a monster at night, like the big mouth of a bone demon, which seemed to swallow everyone in one gulp. The police are all locals, many of whom are Catholics. The legend of bone demon is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and people can't help but be highly nervous. They all clung to their guns. God knows whether the bone demon will come and go without a trace or will show extremely horrible appearance. If people want to fight against demons, even if there are many people, they don't know how many chances they have.

At this time, the church was brightly lit, and Sheriff Ferringer only drank some water occasionally. When the pointer of his luminous watch just pointed to 12, all the lights in the church suddenly went out, and the police waiting outside were terrified and tried to rush into the church. However, the original good door was locked from the inside, and the sheriff's frightened cry came from the church.

At the same time when the lights went out, the police chief Fehlinger suddenly smelled the extremely thick blood gas, and the cold wind swirled around him. A cold thing climbed up his neck, like a bone ... police chief Feringer gave a cry and suddenly turned around. There is a shadow behind him holding a dense bone, which seems to be dripping with some kind of liquid and seems to be blood. Red the Bones is here!

The sheriff took out his pistol and shot at the shadow. The shadow was indifferent and gave a gloomy sneer. The bone in his hand suddenly lifted and knocked on the sheriff ... The policeman waiting nervously outside heard the gunshots in the church. They rushed up to open the door with special unlocking tools. The police immediately sent the comatose sheriff to the hospital. Fortunately, the sheriff's injury is not serious. When he arrived at the hospital, he woke up and told his previous experience.

The police found no blood where the sheriff fainted, and the church was surrounded by police all the time. It is impossible for someone to sneak into the church to kill people and then disappear into the heavily guarded surrounding crowd. Is it true that the sheriff didn't meet a person?

However, the police found a fresh human bone at the scene. It's a right index finger bone, as if making a gesture of contempt to people. This forefinger bone was confirmed to belong to American college student Hal. Obviously, he was killed!

The attack on the sheriff once again proved the strangeness of the Bone Church, and the mentality of the police officers was not stable. Now, Rhett has broken the convention of killing only one person a year. Who knows if he will kill many old bones? The shadow of the bone demon enveloped the city of Kunahara. How many talents will he want to stop?

When the sheriff was alone, his assistant Anton was involved in many investigations. He identified the fresh bones found in the church according to the DNA test and found that they did not match the existing missing persons. Anton turned his eyes to the floating population and found that in 2003, a tramp reported that his friend Shim was missing, but because Shim was a tramp, the police ignored him. Anton managed to get Sim's hair through a tramp, and through identification, it did match some bone DNA found in the church.

Anton asked about the whereabouts of the tramp Shim before he disappeared. The man recalled for a long time, remembering that Shim mysteriously told him shortly before he disappeared that he had found a good client and would introduce him to work if he had enough food and clothing. But this can only prove that someone lied to him and killed him, but couldn't find anything more valuable.

Besides, the morning before the sheriff was attacked, Anton found a pile of newspapers on the desk as soon as he arrived at the office. He opened the newspaper and found a Bai Sensen human skull and two cross-bound arm bones. These bones were confirmed to belong to the seventh victim and the third person who died under the bone demon this year. No one knows how the bones ended up on Anton's desk. Everyone except Anton thinks that no one can do this except bone Murray.

But Anton will never believe this statement. This is definitely murder and human behavior! Because the sheriff has a slight concussion and needs to be hospitalized for a few days, Anton is determined to solve the case independently. He imagined and simulated the logic and practice of committing crimes from the perspective of the murderer-

The murderer must first gain the trust of the victims, trick them into their own rooms and kill them, boil them in water and bone them, and commit crimes repeatedly under the eyes of the police without any loopholes. So the murderer may be an adult single man, with a good appearance, but extremely abnormal psychology. He has an independent house not far from the church, familiar with the internal structure of the human body and criminal knowledge, agile and brave.

Through reasoning, Anton got a lot of guesses, and he directed the police to start a new search. In a circle with the church as the center and a radius of 5 kilometers, the police found such a house at the foot of the mountain less than 4 kilometers away from the church. There are no other houses nearby, and several children who went up the mountain complained to the police that there is always a disgusting smell there.

The police launched a dragnet search near the house and found a large number of broken bones and a small amount of soft tissue. They applied for a search warrant for this place, but unexpectedly found that the owner of the house was someone they knew very well. ...

1870, Rhett was employed by the Schwartzenberg family to piece together patterns for Santa Barbara church with human bones. In his work, Rhett became interested in piecing together patterns with human bones, and even killed people to get new bones, but no one found his crime at that time. 2 1 century, one of his descendants inherited this abnormal hobby and took the method of killing again to get the bones. From 2000 to 2004, * * * killed five homeless people. On June 9, 2004 165438+ 10/kloc-0, when he sent the bones of a new victim to the church, he spread rumors for fear that people would find out more details, so that Red the Bone Devil came to the stage again to wash away his murder. Finally, in order to strengthen the power of rumors, he secretly put the bones in the police station to threaten investigators, even at the expense of hurting himself, creating personal injury incidents in the secret room, trying to attract the police's attention to the bone demon murder case again. It's a pity that the police found the villa where he killed people and took bones. A lot of physical evidence is beyond doubt.

At this time, faced with a surprised face of Ferringer, Anton said, "It seems that the murderer is you, Sheriff Ferringer!"

Ferringer looked at Anton calmly: "I regard you as my successor." It's true. Since you found my villa at the foot of the mountain, I really have nothing to say. Rhett is really my ancestor, and the story about him killing people to get bones is clearly recorded in his diary. I only tried it once according to his instructions and became addicted. I admit that I am the murderer. "

Anton looked at Ferringer awkwardly, but Ferringer casually said, "Can you help me get up? I don't want to lie down and be shackled. " Anton tried to help Ferringer, but he gave him a push and fell at the door. Ferringer took out a pistol from under the pillow and ended his life with a bang.
