Love the way the tree is framed in the archway...incredible that the art seems to be in relatively good condition...

I would love to have a place like this...

How elegant - must have felt very grand attending a production there.

I love the ceiling

Where is this church?

Still beautiful. . .I want to visit, too.

Years ago I red an article about the Republic of Abkhazia and it's still in my mind ! The stunning abandoned buildings in Gagra /once resort, now ghost town/ - they used to call it the Russian Riviera. Hope to visit it some day.

There is a train graveyard a few miles from me - Carnforth - it's so sad to pass - 100 years of railway history just falling to pieces

wow i wonder what vibes i would feel sitting in that courtyard

Mother Nature's taking it back..

Technically not abandoned. There's still one guy there...

How do homes like this become abandoned? What a shame.

It's really sad that at one point people decided that the craftsmanship and labour that were put in these buildings weren't worth the effort of trying to preserve them for future generations.

The real scene for "Big Hero 6" movie!!

Homer Simpson retired.

Looks like the one on the Transformers 2 movie,

Stunning.

Crazy awesome , industrial location for photo shoot or movie.

Some one is trying to save this Church. The wires are there to hold the walls together while work is in progress.

Have been there a few times.One amazing place who soon is gone when the nature eats it up year by year.Its the car cemetery outside Kyrko Mosse in The Swedish region Smaland.
