If you're planning a trip to Europe, make sure to scratch this down on your itinerary: the Sedlec Ossuary -- or the "Bone Church" -- in Sedlec, Kutna Hora in the Czech Republic. In 1870 the Schwartzenberg family commissioned a woodcarver to fashion the chapel in a truly Gothic style, including a Schwartzenberg coat-of-armscrafted with ribs, ankles, and femurs (seen here) with a bird skeleton pecking out the eye of a human skull, and a chandelier of bones.
