A church in the Czech Republic, which locals believe to be haunted, has been saved from demolition by a local art student.
St. George’s in the Czech village of Lukova was left to rot after its
roof collapsed during a funeral ceremony back in 1968. Believing it to
be a cursed, locals left the medieval church in a state of deterioration
for over 30 years. That is, until art student Jakub Hadrava set up this
ghostly art installation. Image Source: Getty ImagesImage Source: Getty Images
White ghostly figures dressed in long robes now fill the pews and
isles of the church, which was built in 1352. The otherworldly figures
are created using plaster and clever lighting, which gives them that
eery appearance. Image Source: Getty Images
Hadrava states that the figures represent the ghosts of Sudeten
Germans who lived in Lukova before World War Two and who came to pray at
this church every Sunday. Image Source: Getty Images
The church is now receiving substantial donations from locals,
tourists and art enthusiasts to keep its doors open for the foreseeable
future.
