The Sedlec Ossuary chapel in the Czech Republic town of Kutná Hora has become the latest attraction to clamp down on photography.
The underground chapel's nontraditional interior design has brought tourists from around the world to this otherwise sleepy town in the Czech countryside, but the visitor influx has become a double-edged sword in the age of Instagram.
Radka Krejčí, director of the Sedlec parish, told CNN reporters in a Czech Republic media briefing that photography will be severely restricted in the Sedlec Ossuary as of 2020.
"We believe that our visitors will respect this decision and at the same time understand the reasons that led us to this step," she said.
This isn't an outright photography ban. Instead, visitors who wish to take snapshots will need to get permission from the parish three days ahead of time. The nearby Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and St. John the Baptist are also included in the photography ban.
