I'm working on some photos of an abandoned church in Gary Indiana, and wondered how many of these amazing places exist throughout the world. These churches can range from a small single room to vast spaces with multiple levels, and sometimes encompass a school, convent, or rectory. Many can be found at psychiatric hospitals, which often catered to all different faiths; surprisingly I have come across very few abandoned synagogues, most being inaccessible.
Most of these structures hold extravagant details in their woodwork, stone, or massive pipe organs, and the abandonment of this craftsmanship is often astounding. So, I've pulled together photographs of these abandoned chapels or churches I've found along the way, and hope you enjoy them!
