Will this incredibly creepy thing be in the game? I do not know where it lies in relation with where KC: D takes place but just saw that it has been around since 1400.

Wiki entry:
In 1278, Henry, the abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Sedlec, was sent to the Holy Land by King Otakar II of Bohemia. He returned with him a small amount of earth he had removed from Golgotha and sprinkled it over the abbey cemetery. The word of this pious act soon spread and the cemetery in Sedlec became a desirable burial site throughout Central Europe.

In the mid 14th century, during the Black Death, and after the Hussite Wars in the early 15th century, many thousands were buried in the abbey cemetery, so it had to be greatly enlarged.

Around 1400, a Gothic church was built in the center of the cemetery with a vaulted upper level and a lower chapel to be used as an ossuary for the mass graves unearthed during construction, or simply slated for demolition to make room for new burials.

After 1511, the task of exhuming skeletons and stacking their bones in the chapel was given to a half-blind monk of the order.

Between 1703 and 1710, a new entrance was constructed to support the front wall, which was leaning outward, and the upper chapel was rebuilt. This work, in the Czech Baroque style, was designed by Jan Santini Aichel.

In 1870, František Rint, a woodcarver, was employed by the Schwarzenberg family to put the bone heaps into order, yielding a macabre result.

So the church has been around since the 1400, but wasn’t as ***** up as it looks now?

Yes and no. It depends on what you find creepy looking. But the current installation (including author’s initials, various signs, Schwarzenberg coat-of-arms, chandelier and many more) was put together in 1870 by master Rint. As I recall from my visit in Sedlec after the hussites wars there was a lot to bury and the ossuary had just few sorted pyramids of bones inside. As you correctly pointed out the pyramids were sorted and put together in the beginning of the 16th century by a one half-blinded monk from the Sedlec monastery.

Will we see it in KC: D or perhaps in later installments?:slight_smile:
