The "Bone Church", as it's known, had piles of bones just sitting around after they were dug up to make room for plague victims - until an artist decided to get "creative" with them in the 1800's. There were all kinds of delightful creations in there, including a family crest of the sponsoring family...just the thing to get for the person who has everything!

the second pic is the chandelier that apparently contains every bone in the human body, plus at least one or two duplicates, as far as I could see!
