12 Abandoned Churches That Are Eerily Gorgeous

Villers Abbey, Belgium

Constructed in the 12th century, this massive stone structure provides a fascinating look into the lives of monks that lived 900 years ago. This stunning cathedral dome is only one room of the enormous abbey, which stretches over nearly 90 acres of the Belgian village of Villers-la-ville. Today, visitors to the abbey can take a tour of the grounds, the ruins of the abbey, and the surrounding gardens. If intact churches are more your thing, check out these stunning photos of the world’s most beautiful stained glass windows (they’re actually not all in churches)!
