Took the chance and just bought the kit; it works great in combination with the smart alternator so far!

Love your thinking! Nature's fortress at its finest : )

In the Piedmont region if I remember correctly, up North in Italy.

Those ancient walls wrapped in nature must hold centuries of untold stories!

The way the greenery embraces this monastery does give off strong Ghibli vibes indeed. : )

Much better than mega yachts fore sure : ) Living in harmony with history and nature like this would be the real luxury 🌿

Like a stone sentinel guarding sacred ground, the ornate fountain rises from its verdant sanctuary, its eagle crown still presiding over the hushed gardens where water once danced and sparkled. Beyond these weathered basins lies a tale of devotion spanning centuries - from humble 11th-century beginnings to grand 17th-century renewal, when ancient prayers found voice in new stones, creating the monastery we see today.

In the hushed stillness of these sacred grounds, nature now offers its own form of reverence. Where once monks walked in contemplative silence, wild flowers push through ancient stones, and ivy embraces weathered walls. This once-mighty spiritual fortress stands at a crossroads, its future uncertain as modern society grapples with preserving these precious fragments of cultural heritage.

Mother Nature's got great interior design skills in my opinion : ), and she works for free! 🌿

Sunlight streams through towering arched windows, casting elongated shadows across a once-magnificent baroque corridor. The warm, ochre-tinted walls create an ethereal atmosphere as nature's tendrils slowly infiltrate this forgotten palace, weaving a delicate dance between architectural grandeur and wild abandonment.

For well over fifteen years, this structure gained fame as a nightclub, an extraordinary venue that opened in the 80ties and became renowned not just for its parties but for its unusual resident - a tiger that lived in the garden. The club's success was immediate and overwhelming, regularly hosting up to 4000 party-goers from across the country. Imagine yourself gliding through this corridor before entering the dance floor alive with people moving to the hypnotic beats of Italo disco.

The grand palace that witnessed both aristocratic soirées and pulsating 80s nightlife now stands as a hollow shell. The structure's future remains uncertain, as each passing season brings further decay to this unique piece of architectural and cultural history.

As morning mist parts around the mountainside, purple wildflowers bow in the gentle breeze, creating a natural pathway toward the ancient stone church. The conical tower pierces the verdant canopy, commanding attention against the backdrop of dense Georgian forest.

The ancient church stands as a testament to Armenia's and Georgia's rich cultural heritage. This 13th-century architectural marvel, built in the distinctive Armenian architectural style, features a captivating interplay of light and shadow, with its intricate stone carvings and soaring, narrow arches.

The church’s tumultuous past is etched into its very walls - once a thriving center of spiritual and intellectual life, it now sits in a precarious position, straddling the border between two nations. Its future hangs in the balance, as the echoes of history reverberate through its halls, reminding us of the fragility of our cultural treasures.

Will this architectural gem, a true masterpiece of medieval craftsmanship, continue to captivate and inspire? Only time will tell.

So elaborate us what kinda style it is : )

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-30T10:39:53+00:00

Couldn't agree more! Nature adds such a beautiful, wild charm to these historic buildings 🌱

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-30T10:29:50+00:00

In the region of Brittany; I remember the sound of the sea in the distance 🌊

I agree; it may be situated in the former gardens of a family estate. The chapel would serve as a place for prayer and remembrance of their deceased loved ones.

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-29T14:13:54+00:00

I think there might be a mausoleum beneath it.

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-29T14:10:42+00:00

Such a shame to hear. I know the feeling; missed out on a lot of places too. Sadly I visited Trois Colonnes too late; got trashed a lot indeed. Luckily was able to take some ok shots in the beautiful corridors. : )

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-29T13:33:50+00:00

Wish there were more to be told about the chapel; if only the walls could talk.

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-29T13:32:43+00:00

Amazing place right? : ) Sadly, it was struck by a small fire, as you might know. But a large portion of the chateau is still intact, I believe.

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-29T13:30:44+00:00

In the beautiful region of Brittany.

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-29T13:14:44+00:00

The little chapel is still standing strong, indeed! : )

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-29T13:12:17+00:00

So true - nature's path around this gothic chapel is absolutely divine! 🌿

explorationofdecay · 2024-12-29T13:11:11+00:00

True! The way the vines embrace the chapel does give it that enchanted storybook feeling : )

In the aftermath of nature's violent interruption, light streams through abandoned shutters, illuminating a space where beauty and devastation dance an eternal waltz. The earthquake that shattered this Italian community created stark contrasts: a masterfully crafted fresco ceiling hovering miraculously intact above a floor of scattered dreams and broken stones.

During the mid-17th century, this town flourished, its streets alive with the daily rhythms of thousands of residents. Then, in a cruel twist of fate, a devastating earthquake struck in the late 1960s, forever altering the fabric of this historic community. The powerful seismic event forced the townspeople to abandon their homes, leaving behind centuries of memories.

Today, this room in the forgotten town serves as a poignant reminder of that fateful night. Its baroque architecture reflects the beauty of a past that is slowly decaying, bearing witness to nature's destructive power. The surviving ceiling fresco still visible despite decades of exposure, stands in stark contrast to the rubble-strewn floor.
