The Gothic Church

Because this is a recent photo, you could be forgiven for thinking this gothic-looking church in Iceland is still open to worshippers. It isn't, but that hasn't stopped it becoming a popular photo-call spot for newlyweds who want some artistic pictures to celebrate their big day.

The wooden church is called Buoakirkja, and is in a prime piece of real estate on a beach. It's also been almost completely abandoned since 1703, although a restoration project in 1987 at least made it look respectable from the outside.
