Located in the lovely little village of Halstatt, the Pfarrkirche and its crowded cemetery offer in them an extraordinary visit. In fact, this is a cemetery so crowded that burial here is only temporary. After approximately 10 years of decomposition time, the bones are cleared out and – after the town gravedigger decoratively paints the skull – filed away in the Beinhaus.
