Next to this church is cellar which is "decorated" with skulls and bones. It is done with taste, beautiful violin music is played on the background from the speakers. Very interesting place, don't miss this one!!

Beautiful church with underground ossuary, the ossuary's entrance is to the right of the church. A guide will give you a short introduction (in Czech only) before you can explore the ossuary by yourself. Impressive, but relatively small so you'll be in and out within half an hour, that's when the next tour group starts anyway.
