==In media==
In 1970, the 100th anniversary of Rint's contributions, Czech filmmaker [[Jan Švankmajer]] was commissioned to document the ossuary.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Brandesky|first=Joe|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=h--tparV9YEC&q=sedlec+svankmajer&pg=PA24|title=Czech Theatre Design in the Twentieth Century: Metaphor and Irony Revisited|year= 2007|publisher=University of Iowa Press|isbn=978-1-58729-712-0|language=en}}</ref> The result was a 10-minute-long frantic-cut film of skeletal images overdubbed with an actual tour-guide's neutral voice narration. This version was initially banned by the Czech Communist authorities for alleged [[subversion]], {{Citation needed|date=April 2025}} and the soundtrack was replaced by a brief spoken introduction and a [[jazz]] arrangement by [[Zdeněk Liška]] of the [[poem]] "{{Lang|fr|Comment dessiner le portrait d'un oiseau}}" ("How to Draw the Portrait of a Bird") by [[Jacques Prévert]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Johnson|first=Keith Leslie|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Z-ZCDwAAQBAJ&q=sedlec+svankmajer+soundtrack&pg=PT61|title=Jan Svankmajer|year=2017|publisher=University of Illinois Press|isbn=978-0-252-05007-7|language=en}}</ref> Since the [[Velvet Revolution]], the original tour guide soundtrack has been made available.

In the documentary ''[[Long Way Round]]'', [[Ewan McGregor]] and [[Charley Boorman]] stop to see this church. [[Dan Cruickshank]] also views the church in his ''[[Dan Cruickshank's Adventures in Architecture|Adventures in Architecture]]''.

The ossuary is a major plot device in the [[John Connolly (author)|John Connolly]] novel ''The Black Angel''.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Connolly|first=John|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Vg1nCgAAQBAJ&q=sedlec+black+angel&pg=PP1|title=The Black Angel: A Charlie Parker Thriller|year=2015|publisher=Simon and Schuster|isbn=978-1-5011-1583-7|language=en}}</ref>

The ossuary is used as a location for the [[Dungeons & Dragons (2000 film)|''Dungeons & Dragons'' movie]]<ref>{{cite web|title=My Czech Republic|url=http://www.myczechrepublic.com/czech_culture/filming_locations.html|publisher=My Czech Republic|access-date=20 July 2012}}</ref> and the movie ''[[Blood & Chocolate (film)|Blood & Chocolate]]''.

The ossuary influenced Dr. Satan's lair in the [[Rob Zombie]] film ''[[House of 1000 Corpses]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Jan Strusiewicz |first=Cezary |date=27 October 2009 |title=The 6 Creepiest Places on Earth |url=http://www.cracked.com/article/181_the-6-creepiest-places-earth_p2/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120712055117/http://www.cracked.com/article/181_the-6-creepiest-places-earth_p2/ |archive-date=12 July 2012 |access-date=12 July 2012 |publisher=Cracked.com}}</ref>

The ossuary appeared on two versions of ''[[The Amazing Race]]'': ''[[The Amazing Race Australia 1]]'' and ''[[HaMerotz LaMillion 2]]''.<ref>{{cite episode|title=It's Just Like Where's Wally|series=[[The Amazing Race Australia]]|season=1|number=7|network=[[Seven Network]]|date=27 June 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite episode|title=The Baptism of Fire!|series=[[HaMerotz LaMillion]]|season=2|number=10|network=[[Channel 2 (Israeli TV channel)|Channel 2]]|date=27 November 2011}}</ref>

The bone chandelier was featured on the cover and in the music video for the single "''Schwarzer Sarg''" by Japanese group [[Yousei Teikoku|Yōsei Teikoku]].

A photograph of the chapel's interior was also used as the cover art for the 1998 album ''[[Nightwork (album)|Nightwork]]'', by Swedish [[Progressive metal|progressive]] [[black metal]] band [[Diabolical Masquerade]].

In the game ''[[Kingdom Come: Deliverance II]]'', Henry, the player character, goes to the ossuary and arranges the bones into pyramids. The ossuary is presented as almost empty and in disarray. It also features the blind monk of the legend, whom they called ''Morticius''.
