Restoration experts are set to dismantle centuries-old bones from more than 40,000 human bodies, clean and reconstruct them. The restoration aims to preserve the bones at the Sedlec ossuary church. The project also aims to restore and strengthen the church building which houses the bones and skulls. The bones came from a cemetery adjacent to a monastery founded by the Cistercian order in 1142. The renovation is necessary due to the aging of both the bones and the ossuary.
