Buildings of different purposes, rising out of lakes and rivers, submerged in gallons of water - the places where people once lived and worked, a homes to weeds and fishes now. These buildings were flooded and drowned by men's own doing, in their hurry to change nature's path for dams and reservoirs. Churches, monasteries, palaces and fortresses are usually occur as partly-submerged structures, which are popular among photographers and tourists. 1. St. Nicholas Church, Macedonia link The church of St. Nicholas in Mavrovo, Macedonia was built in 1850 and stood for a 153 years until it was decided an artificial lake was needed in the village.

Church Of Altgraun In Lake Reschen, Italy link Planning for a man made lake in this area began in the 1920’s by the Montecatini company, who wanted to build the reservoir for electricity. This proved difficult as they could not get proper support and met strong resistance from all towns involved. link After years of delays and appeals to government officials, the villages of Graun and Reschen were submerged in 1950. A total of 163 homes were lost, including the famous church, whose clock tower still stands above 20 feet (6 m) of water, and has become a main attraction of the area. [link, map] 3. Church of Old Petrolandia, Brazil link Petrolandia is a town in Brazil near the river of Sao Francisco, which was moved - or at least part of it was - when a dam was built. The only thing left standing is the church, which is unusual and beautiful sight. [link] 4. Kalyazin Bell Tower, Russia link The Kalyazin Bell Tower is a Neoclassical campanile, rising to a height of 74.5 metres (244 ft) over the waters of the Uglich Reservoir on the Volga River opposite the old town of Kalyazin. The steepled belfry was built in 1796–1800 as part of the Monastery of St. Nicholas. link When Stalin ordered the construction of the Uglich Reservoir in 1939, the old part of Kalyazin, including several medieval structures, was covered by the waters. The structure became the main object of touristic interest in the east of Tver Oblast, and an islet was shored up underneath. It has a small pier for boats. [link, map] 5. Jal Mahal Palace, India link Jal Mahal (meaning "Water Palace") is a palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur city, the capital of the state of Rajasthan, India. Built to be a pleasure palace for the royal family in 1799, Jal Mahal Palace is an extremely romantic place with its intricate architecture casting beautiful reflections in the calm waters of the Man Sagar Lake. The lake eco system is a favorite home of a number of migratory and resident birds. link Jal Mahal has been restored recently and is now open for public. The first four floors of Jal Mahal are under water and only the top floor is above the water level. Inside the monument is the roof top garden in white marble - Chameli Bagh, blended with traditional Rajput architecture and contemporary flair, with fountains, water channels with carved niches, trees and scented flowers. [link, map] 6. Church of Mediano, Spain link The Church of Mediano is a 16th century submerged church located in Mediano, a submerged municipality in La Fueva, province of Huesca, Spain. This church was flooded together with the entire village when the water reservoir of the same name was built in the 1960’s. link The last inhabitants left the place when the water was already getting inside their houses. When the lake is full the depth at the base of the tower is approximately 30m (100 ft). [link, map] 7. Tricule Fortress, Romania link Tricule Fortress was built in 15 century to stop the Otoman expansion to west, the ruins are located near Svinita locality, at the border from Romania and Serbia. link On the left side of the Danube, 4km from Svinita, there are three towers in a triangle shape. These had been standing on the steep slope before 1971, the articulation of the lake. Nowadays they seem to be flooded by the Danube and the tower of the south seems to be completely flooded. The towers are 10 and 11 m (33 and 36 ft) high. All of them were constructed of stone, standing there with the 1,40 m (5 ft) wide walls, having three levels in their interior. [link, map] 8.

The church was located at the water’s edge on the coast of Lake Beloye, at the origin of the Sheksna River. link The Nativity Church was flooded when the Soviets began the construction of a hydroelectric plant. In the result of drowning the southern wall of the church in Krokhino is more destroyed if compared with the northern wall, but generally, the church is half-destroyed.

[link, map] Bonus: Reappeared Church of Potosi, Venezuela link Potosi, Venezuela hasn't been on anyone's travel radar much since 1985. That was the year when the town was deliberately flooded by the Venezuelan government to build a hydroelectric dam. That left most of the worthwhile souvenirs from Potosi rather soggy. link Severe droughts (2009-2010) in the region have resulted in an odd miracle, of sorts. The water levels in the man-made reservoir are so low that the town's previously submerged church is now completely above water and resting on dry land. Josefa Garcia, former resident of Potosi, walks by the first time after she leaves the town in front of the ruins of a church in the Andean town of Potosi (2010) link This 82-foot-tall church hasn't been seen in its entirety in 25 years.

That means that the country is now experiencing an officially-declared energy emergency. [link, map]
