- A massive chandelier made from every type of human bone (hanging in the center).

St. Barbara's Cathedral in Kutná Hora is one of the most iconic late Gothic masterpieces in Central Europe. Construction began in 1388 during the height of Kutná Hora's prosperity as a major silver-mining center. Work progressed slowly due to interruptions (including Hussite Wars, mining fluctuations, and funding issues) and wasn't fully completed until 1905—spanning over 500 years. It reflects both the mining town's riches and deep religious devotion.
