What a beautifully touching narrative dear @soulsdetour. I agree, there's an undeniable truth that architecture can never be considered useless. Certain built environments may be abandoned, neglected, or unmaintained, however, the presence and usage by human beings are their real lifeblood. Your featured historic church, despite being deserted due to the flooding of dam waters, still attracts the faithful. Indeed, there's a strong emotional connection between people and buildings that sometimes leave us scratching our heads.

Because what is a house or just a building without people? It means nothing.

This is the most valuable takeaway from your post. Simply awesome!

P.S. There was a similar story previously published in our community about a submerged church as well by @andestethic. Perhaps she can share some of her insights here?

Loved this post and yes , i do have a similar post on the same subject. I have written about the floating church of India.

Many thanks, Andrea. 😊

Well, you see dear @soulsdetour, we're actually on the same wavelength. The reason why I mentioned a previous story that resonated with your post was that I remembered your comment on it, haha. 😁 Just forgot to say it, sorry. So, since we both understand the emotional links of people with architecture, we absolutely care about ruins and heritage buildings. There's more to the physical habitats we experience than merely their visual aspect. Similar to humans, they also have a life of their own and should be treated like one.

As always, thank you so much for your stimulating thoughts, observations, and interesting opinions. Have an enjoyable weekend too. 😊

Indeed. When I say that architecture has a life of its own, I'm particularly pointing to their "Spirit or Sense of Place" (Genius Loci), another interesting science to be curious about. (I've already published a post about this before.)

I'm truly glad that I've found you plus absolutely grateful that you're feeling at home in our beloved community. We definitely have more stimulating topics about architecture and design to talk about soon. Keep them coming. 😊

Oh yeah, I remember you discussed stones being like living entities in one of your previous posts. Why not, right? Holistically, stones are recognized building materials and are part and parcel of architecture and built spaces. In the scientific study of Genius Loci, these important stones (with their textures, color, type, etc.) would easily contribute to the environment's Spirit of Place, thereby directly impacting the experiences of its users, inhabitants, or occupants. So, when you say that the material dimension of stones has life, you're not creating confusion but are definitely on track 100%. Hope I made some sense. Cheers! 😊

Oh yes, it's sad to see abandoned places of worship. I often see those that are well maintained, but also those that are gradually turning into ruins. Time is merciless. This old church looks atmospheric. You made interesting and informative photos. I liked it, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful architecture. Thank sobsharing @soulsdetour

Много интересно място,все още не съм я посещавал.Поздравления за поста страхотен е 🙂

Hermosas fotografías a pesar de su antigüedad y falta de mantenimiento, estar ahí y ver cada detalle debe hacer que florezca la curiosidad de aquellos viejos tiempos cuando era habitable.
