– These are the most luxurious skeletons you will ever see
– They are placed at a little-known church in Germany
– The bejeweled remains are from Roman martyrs St. Hyacinth and St. Clemens
Take a look at these amazing, although little-known, skeletons, all covered in jewels, and available for anyone interested to visit.
These jewel-encrusted saints’ remains are on display at a little-known 700-year-old Bavarian abbey in Germany.
The remains of St. Hyacinth and St. Clemens are completely covered in gold and all sorts of gemstones. They are laid down inside glass caskets, tucked on side walls, and surrounded by gilded frames, in a very elegant and glitzy setting.

St. Hyacinth
Fürstenfeld Abbey is very close to the city of Munich, so it is incredible that it does not get more visitors.
St. Hyacinth was a Roman martyr, who is said to have been tortured and starved to death in 108 AD at the age of 12, only for being Christian. His skeleton is adorned with a bejeweled crown, and also has a gold jaw. His body was preserved in Caesarea, and many years later it was apparently brought to Fürstenfeld.

St. Clemens
On his part, St. Clemens is also thought to have died in 95 AD in Rome. He was beheaded.
The original monastery in Fürstenfeld was built in the mid-1200s by Louis II, Duke of Bavaria. Pope Alexander IV had ordered him to build one in penance for killing his wife, whom he thought had been unfaithful, an account which later turned out to be false.
Fürstenfeld church.
Its present church, the only remaining building of the entire monastery, was built in the mid-18th century. By the early 1800s the abbey was secularized, and was almost demolished. Local parishioners nevertheless petitioned for its conservation, and nowadays the church continues to serve as a place of worship.
