However, during the Great Plague "Black Death" and the subsequent Hussite War, due to the limited number of cemeteries, many of the dead could not be buried, leaving thousands of bones piled up here. Around 1510, a sculptor was hired to decorate the church with the human bones of the deceased, which is said to have used the remains of approximately 40000 people.The 40,000 disinfected and screened bones, of the same size, were carefully used to build candlesticks, altars, holy grails, lintels, arches, pendants and even crosses. The most amazing thing is the "human bone chandelier" in the center of the church made of the bones of various parts of the human body. It has a unique appearance and seems to be attached to the soul of the deceased. It is strange and has a touch of breathtaking splendor. In the end, the appearance of today's Human Bone Church was formed, which made tourists shudder while lamenting the unique thinking of human beings.

Tugenhart Villa in Brno was designed by the architect Mies van der Rohe and is an outstanding example of the international style of the modern architectural movement that emerged in Europe in the 1920s. Its unique value is reflected in the innovative space and the application of aesthetic concepts that aim to take advantage of the opportunities brought by modern industrial production to meet the needs of new lifestyles.
A lot of unique technological innovations were used in the construction process of the villa, such as two windows placed on the ground, and a unique heating device and air circulation system are all new things in the creation. Another important part of this building is the interior decoration. It is no exaggeration to say that the designer has invested no less energy in interior decoration than in the structural design of the house. Without the furniture decoration proposed by Mies van der Rohe, the design significance of this villa would be half inferior, and the ordering and decoration of the furniture left them limited room for change.
The villa has unique aesthetic value. The materials used in the interior of the rooms are glass, polished stone, precious wood and chrome-plated steel. Most of the furniture is specially set up for the villa, and their raw materials also tend to be those used inside the room. Recently, the villa was transferred to the museum management of the city of Brno and is now open to the public.
