3. Jal Mahal, Jaipur, India

Jaipur’s water palace appears to be floating in the center of Man Sagar Lake, but when it was built in the 16th century, the whole area was dry. During those days, a dam protected the area from the water of the lake, but when it eventually broke, the palace was completely flooded.

Nowadays the water has gone down significantly, but even so, the bottom four floors of the palace are still under the waters of the lake, and only the top floor remains visible. The top floor was restored and opened to the public, allowing visitors to come in by boat and see the memorial tombs of the Maharaja’s wives.

At nighttime, the whole building is lit up, giving it a beautiful-yet-eerie look.

4. Grüner See, Styria, Austria

Also known as “The Green Lake”, this park is famous for its picturesque scenery, green grassy knolls, and a clear lake that lies in its center.

When the park was built, the lake was less than 2 meters (6.5ft) deep, but as snow melted from the surrounding mountains; the park was completely flooded, turning the whole area into a spectacular underwater park, lying under 12 meters (40ft) of water.

These days, visitors can take a stroll through the park only during the winter, when the mountains freeze and water stops seeping into the park. During the warm months, however, the park disappears once more, becoming accessible only to divers.
