Chapel of Bones

This chapel is lined on the interior with thousands of human bones. They had to move a whole bunch of monastery cemeteries many years ago to build estates on the land and so the monks disinterred the bones and used them to decorate the chapel.

Russell and I showed a lack of decorum and started making puns.

"This place has a lot of elbow room."
"You're just ribbing me!"
"Sorry, it was my knee jerk reaction."
"Now you are pulling my leg"
"It took a lot of elbow grease to build this place."
"And quite a few skulled workers."
"Are you lying or is that just a fib-ula?"

The sign over the entry door loosely translated to "These bones wait here for yours."Læs mere
