"Next to the church is an ossuary. The building is a special cultural-historical building that was originally built as a bone and barehouse. Bones from cleared graves were temporarily stored here, as well as the portable and gravedigger tools. Plans to tear it down were thwarted in 1984 by the local history circle. Instead, it was restored and declared a national monument. The ossuary was probably built in 1878 (with permission from Mgr. Godschalk). "
