Bohnický ústavní hřbitov, Cemetery in Prague, Czech Republic

Bohnický ústavní hřbitov, also known as the "Cemetery of Fools," is a former institutional cemetery in the northern part of Prague, about 700 meters west of Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital. It covers roughly 2.5 hectares and contains around 4,200 graves, with a main gate on the east and a permanently closed side gate on the west.

The cemetery was completed and consecrated on September 12, 1909, as part of the Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital. The first burial was an eleven-year-old patient, František Jankovský, on September 24, 1909. Burials ended in 1951, and the site was transferred to the Prague Funeral Service in 1963, which left it to decay.

Locals sometimes call it the "Cemetery of Fools," a name that reflects its past as a burial ground for psychiatric patients. The overgrown ivy and scattered tombstones give it a somber, forgotten feel that visitors notice right away.

The cemetery is closed to the public and in a state of disrepair, so entry is not allowed without special permission. Occasional guided tours, sometimes at night, are organized for those interested in its history.

In 1984, the cemetery's gloomy setting was used by director Miloš Forman for a scene in the film Amadeus, depicting Mozart's burial in a mass grave. There is also a belief that Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was buried here in an unmarked grave in 1918 under a false name.
