This church was built about 150 years ago in 1870. Actually, there is a very mysterious reason behind decorating this church with human bones which surprises everyone. In 1278, King Ottoman II of Bohemia sent a saint named Henry to Jerusalem, the holy land of Christians. Actually, Jerusalem is called the workplace of Jesus Christ. He was also crucified here. It is said that when the saints who went to Jerusalem returned, they also brought with them a jar full of holy soil and put that soil on top of a cemetery. It has since become a favourite burial place for people. Due to the holy soil in the cemetery, people wanted them to be buried there after death and this started happening.

Apart from this, thousands of people died in the Bohemia war in the beginning of the 15th century and they were buried there too. Now there is no place left in the cemetery due to the burial of a large number of people. Therefore, removing their skeletons and bones, the church was decorated with them. This church became famous all over the world and a large number of people started visiting it.
