The church, constructed in the 16th century by local monks, was lost in 1966 following a massive flood that caused the water level to rise by 24 meters (78ft). Despite the difficulties caused by the drought, it at least had one beneficial outcome.

6. St. Nicholas Church, Mavrovo, Macedonia

Not far from the tallest waterfall in the Balkan region of Europe, lies the Mavrovo National Park, named after the lake that lies in its center. Nestled between snowcapped peaks, sprawling grasslands and breathtaking views, there lies an abandoned church that turned the area into a tourist attraction.

The Church of St. Nicholas paid the price for the formation of an artificial lake, which was formed to power a local hydroelectric power station. Initially, the water covered the church completely, but by the end of the project, the top of the church reemerged, and these days visitors can see the whole upper floor.

Even though weeds grew between the cracks, and parts of the roof collapsed, the church became part of the local scenery, attracting many tourists annually.

7. Lion City, Qiandao Lake, China

Deep within the waters of China’s Lake Quandao hides an architectonic treasure. Lion City was established during the Han dynasty, between 25 and 220 CE, and includes spectacular stone buildings decorated by intricate statues and carvings, which are still well preserved.
