Chapel of Skulls in Kudowa-Zdrój (Czermna) The interior of the chapel is lined with 3,000 skulls and bones. This is the only such facility in Poland and one of three in Europe. It is one common grave of the victims of the Silesian wars of the years 1740-1742 and 1744-1745, and of infectious diseases from the eighteenth century. Under the floor lie many more (20-30 thousand) human remains. The chapel was built in 1776 by a priest, Wacław Tomaszek, for whom it took eight years to build the chapel, collect remains, carry out disinfection and impregnation and laying of the remains. The chapel is an exceptional example of transience and fragility of humans, in which the remains of old families, friends and foes meet. Once a year, at midnight on 14-15 August, a mass is celebrated in the Chapel of Skulls for all those who died through diseases or as a result of accidents. |
