If you’re looking for paradise, you just found it and its called Sénanque Abbey! Wondering why? Keep reading!

This Cistercian abbey, located in western Provence, in the hills of the Luberon is one of three beautiful Romanesque abbeys founded by the Cistercians in Provence, France. It’s sublime, solitary setting, surrounded by fields of lavender, and the timeless serenity and honey-coloured stone of the monastic buildings. This makes it one of the most photographed sights in Provence and as we said before a peaceful paradise on Earth.

If you want to visit this place, you should know that this is still a working abbey and visitor numbers are tightly controlled, so little disturbs the abbey’s contemplative calm and the exquisite lines of its 850-year-old architecture. The monks make a living from growing lavender and producing honey, both of which can be bought from the abbey shop. Okay! We’ll stop the small talk and show you a piece of this heaven on Earth!

If you think you’ve seen everything, wait until you see the bone church in Czech Republic, decorated with the remains of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, many of whom died in the plague in 1318 and during the Hussite Wars in the 15th century.

Also known as the ‘Skull Church’, the macabre building contains bodies that have been dismembered, de-fleshed and reassembled into decorative features including a bone chandelier and chalices and even a family crest constructed from human remains.

The decorations and sculptures were created by a woodcarver named František Rint. In 1870, he was commissioned by the landowners of the time, the Schwarzenberg family, to decorate the chapel with the bones and create a reminder of the impermanence of human life and inescapable death.

The church is open 7 days a week, except on the 24th and 25th of December and the entrance ticket costs approximately 1.50 €. Travelers, here is your next adventure!

Kelly Lund always takes his dog (a mixture of husky, malamute and wolf) named Loki when going on a journey.

He is sure that the dogs are not meant simply to guard the house, sitting in the backyard. Kelly hopes that these pictures will inspire dog owners to go in search of new adventures with their pets.
