Welcome to the mysterious and captivating universe of my new series of photos: "The Echo of the Forgotten Sacred". Through this series of photos, I invite you to a unique journey through time and space, where beauty mingles with the melancholy of religious places once imbued with devotion and spirituality.

During my explorations, I had the chance to discover these forgotten jewels, majestic sanctuaries once animated by the fervor of believers. Today, these sacred buildings sit silently, imbued with a haunting aura that bears witness to the passage of time and history.

With my lens as my only companion, I immersed myself in these abandoned spaces, sometimes invaded by wild nature, sometimes sublimated by the play of light through the broken stained glass windows. Each shot that I present to you is a moment frozen in time, an open window on the soul of these places once filled with faith.

Between delicate ruins and decadent architecture, I captured the very essence of these abandoned places, revealing their melancholy beauty in striking contrasts. Each photo tells a story, that of a glorious past that continues to inspire admiration despite the veil of decline.

Welcome to my photographic universe.

Why do I suspect Nazis had something to do with its "beautification" and abandonment?

    Can you count a mausoleum as "abandoned" as long as the people who are enterred there are still in place?

    Those head stones are a lot newer than I thought they'd be. Looks like the big one in front is for a husband and wife from 1987

    The "Chapelle de Mineurs" in northern belgium (https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/religious/chapelle-des-mineurs/). Due to its form , especially the front window, it has been nicknamed the "Star Trek Chapel".

    No wonder it's disused. People were getting rained on during the services.
