Abandoned European Churches Captured in Crumbling Glory

New, 2 comments

In further proof that buildings might be more beautiful abandoned than inhabited, German photographer Matthias Haker has captured breathtaking scenes of seemingly otherworldly light streaming into neglected European churches. Peeling paint, crumbling walls, forsaken pews and pianos, and other fragments of these formally grand spaces are all captured in the series, which Haker has titled, simply, "Decay." Another quick look, below.
