Description Church of Saint John of Nepomuk in the village Huntířov (near Dvůr Králové, northeast Bohemia) is a Neo-Gothic building, completed in 1907. For many decades after World War II it was closed, abandoned and dilapidating. Fortunately in 2012 it was restored and now is used for cultural events (such as concerts and exhibitions) as well as occasional church services.

It was in this very church that my latest exhibition took place this July (mostly those pictures of various churches from the region, I've been posting on dA recently).

The grayscale gives it an almost spooky feel, like it's haunted. Lovely work as always!

Yes, these Neo-Gothic churches easily make such impression. And of course the charcoal only adds to it. Though the church itself looks really nice now that it is restored.
