Photo 10: Located in Northern Italy, this church has been undergoing construction work for years in an effort to save or even restore the structure. — Im Wiederaufbau

Ein riesiges Loch klafft in der Kirchendecke, auf dem Boden häufen sich die Trümmer und darüber ist der blaue Himmel Norditaliens zu sehen. An dieser Kirche werden seit Jahren Bauarbeiten durchgeführt, um die Struktur zu retten und das Bauwerk irgendwann wiederherzustellen. Noch sieht es nach jeder Menge Arbeit aus.

Der Fotograf benennt die genauen Ort und Kirchen meistens nicht, um vor Vandalismus zu schützen Photo 15: This is a photo of a stunning abandoned church. It is a single square room with parts (such as the pillars and floor) from the early 16th century. Other parts (such as the vaults) are from the 19th century. You can't reach the church by car, and all of the houses surrounding the church have been abandoned as well, and are damaged by an earthquake.

Photo 13: This small and abandoned chapel has been the subject of wild rumours and stories. It is hidden in the midst of dense vegetation and built in the same Gothic style as the nearby castle. Originally, the building was supposed to be a funeral chapel for the family that owned the castle nearby. The story goes that local people fear the building. Claims are made that hooded people have been seen wandering around the building at night. Inside the chapel, candles, desecrated niches, written rituals and small sacrificed animals in front of an "artisanal" altar made on the spot are found. Paranormal investigators and occultists regularly visit this place.

Photo 6: The original church dates back to the 15th century. After many repairs the church got intentionally destroyed to be rebuilt into a new church in the end of the 19th century. Building, decorating and painting took over 50 years. Right after the 2nd World War cracks started to appear in this church. Around the 80's in the 20th century the decision was made to close the church after it had barely been used. In 2009, after a big collection of signatures for saving the church, a project launched to restore it to its former glory. It's still a very long way to go. The last project meeting seems to have taken place in 2013.

Photo 2: Chiesa Madre di San Nicola, in the Lamezia area, is another prime example of a stunning church, sitting abandoned in spite of the many efforts from the community in trying to secure funds for renovations and restoration efforts.

Photo 4: Chiesa Faraone Antico is another victim of Italy’s relatively frequent seismic activity, and it is the heart of an entire borgo, which was completely laid to waste and abandoned by the community.

Photo 5: Located in the Abruzzo region, and damaged by an earthquake. The church has been long abandoned, and is being taken over by nature as you can clearly see in the photo.

Photo 3: Photographed this chapel in the Puglia region. The chapel is part of an abandoned farm house, that’s located along a quiet dirt road. The seats in the church remind me of a cinema.

Photo 7: In this picture you see an old and beautiful little chapel with a grave inside, located in Northern Italy. The chapel was surrounded by abandoned buildings that were mostly destroyed. It's a tiny building, compared to the rest of the buildings on site.

Photo 8: This church is part of an abandoned monastery with a very long history, located in Northern Italy. Founded in the Middle Ages, near the end of the 12th century, and occupied for about 600 years. Near the end of the 18th century it got closed due to constant complaints of the critical condition of the building. Striking for the current state of the complex is the huge amount of vandalism, and in particular this church which is only a small part of the complex. The archeologic value is quite high. Historic pottery, wooden coffins and nails got destroyed and people have even tried to steal the big marmer Roman column in the altar you see on the picture. The heavy weight of the column probably prohibited the thieves to take it.

Photo 9: This is a photo of an amazing abandoned church which is part of an abandoned monastery, located in Northern Italy. The monastery has been founded in the beginning of the 17th century. It was closed about 200 years later. The building was later used as a school and as a hospital. The courtyard of this place was lovely to walk around in. Unfortunately it's been closed since a few decades.

Photo 10: Located in Northern Italy, this church has been undergoing construction work for years in an effort to save or even restore the structure.

Photo 11: This is a photo of the beautiful chapel that is part of an abandoned and largely gutted monastery. Located in Northern Italy.

Photo 14: This is a photo of a stunning abandoned church that was built at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century. In the beginning of the 20th century, the complete interior was renovated and newly decorated. Due to an earthquake, the church became heavily damaged and towards the end of the 20th century a new roof and floor was constructed. Unfortunately, a couple of years ago another earthquake happened resulting in the poor state the church is in now.

Photo 12: Little is known about the history of this wonderful church, but the construction of the original structure dates back to the 10th - 11th century. The current structure, set on the rocky wall of a medieval village, is from the second half of the 17th century. An ancient stone on the left wall refers to an attribution of an ancient local family.

Photo 1: Located in the proximity of the city of Naples. The structure is internally completely covered with scaffolding, to prevent the walls from falling down.
