sure to send anyone over the edge & the ones who know do go...

throwing themselves off rooftops in order to taste the flavours:

an endless mystique, concoctions of many kinds linger deep;

for the spirit suffocates in these worlds of dark principalities.

40000 SKULLS

It may seem a bit morbid, but I actually quite enjoy visiting old cemeteries. They almost always radiate a certain peace and serenity and, when they are beautifully dilapidated and overgrown with greenery, they often offer special photo opportunities. This cemetery - as is often the case in the Verdun region - contains an ossuary, a building where thousands of skulls and bones are displayed.

This cemetery, located on a hill, was built around the 12th-century church, which was originally the main church of the village. The cemetery is accessible via a path of over 500 meters. This rather small cemetery is still in use. At the front, in what was originally the garden of the manager's house, a new area has been created, where people are still laid to rest. Further on, around the church, the grave monuments are in serious disrepair. The most remarkable thing about this cemetery is without doubt the ossuary.

The ossuary was built at the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century. It was intended to collect the skulls and bones that were dug up each time a new burial took place. Of the five hundred to six hundred charnel houses in this region, only about thirty remain today.

There is a sign on the facade of the ossuary stating that there are 40,000 skulls in the ossuary. But after the dismantling and reassembly of these skulls between 2015 and 2021 (to allow the restoration of the building), only 6,000 skulls and complete remains of the deceased were counted. That amounts to about 40,000 bones. Hence the confusion, no doubt...
