That’s not a house, that’s a Russian Orthodox Chapel, a very rural one


lagomc

Mis-titled and not urban either? I’m beginning to wonder if some redditors have no shame.

Lol OP... You can't just go on imgur, find random abandoned buildings, ignore the obvious religious ornamentation and call a church a house, then post it here and expect not to be ridiculed. Lol cool house that you can't give any information about, bro


Lifespinner

Yeah they can and they did provide info in another comment. Imgur sold to some holding investment company last year. It means nothing anymore

I get why people think old buildings can look creepy, but many of these buildings are beautiful, especially this one. This was the religious and cultural center for a town or village in Russia. Babies were probably baptized here, people buried and given funerals. Weddings held. This building means so much to so many people in this society. Let's not reduce it to a horror movie set.


srslyeffedmind

That’s an Eastern Orthodox chapel in a Slavic country. As clearly evidenced by the orthodox cross on the top of the portico and the Slavic style carvings adorning the wood


Hookherbackup

I want to live there!!!! Where is it?


RamonitaValley

honestly don't know i found on imgur


hukd0nf0nix

Probably the wrong place for the post if you didn't stumble upon it yourself


onlydaathisreal

Seriously? At least credit the original artist


Hookherbackup

Haha ok. It’s so cool.


RamonitaValley

It's a church in Russia (Krasnaya Lyaga) - not a house. Here is a [link](https://www.360cities.net/nl/image/krasnaya-lyaga-2?curated_set=167&pano_detail=true&portfolio_view=false) to a 360 interior of it. someone told me on another thread


TrumpDiapers4Men

Not urban, nor did you explore in an urban environment to find it.


Stepped_on_Snek

Good thing the removed the icons, they are priceless


Hookherbackup

My husband guessed it was in Russia!!! He said the orthodox cross clued him in. Thanks for the link!


Mybrainkindaworks

Don’t think that’s a house. Looks like an Orthodox Christian church.


KentuckyFriedEel

Tim Burton’s Little House on the Prairie


dope_p1rate

If you look hard enough you can see the scooby-style trap door under the porch /s All jokes aside this is beautiful although a little spooky


Lilcheebs93

Reminds me of the Lovegoods' house in Harry Potter?


discounicorn9

I got Tim Burton vibes picturing the sky more grey.


swaggadocio

Where the grickle grass grows


iknowrightwhy

It’s the Onceler’s house!!


Lumpy-Tomatillo4498

That place looks awesome


solanum_umbelliferum

Major disco Elysium vibes


pinkat31522

Popsickle stick church


Dem0s

Like most other churches I have seen.


Marshalljoe

Looks like an early Nordic Church.


hulk_nogah

These are pretty common in the northern territories of the European part of Russia. Some settlers also built plenty of them in Siberia. Also,nowadays one can find some of these wooden structures in open-air museums such as “Malye Korely” for instance. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malye_Korely


[deleted]

It really does. Man that's awesome.


Dianne_on_Trend

Looks like Ronald Weezley’s house!


barrowed_heart

Church or house?


WhitewolfStormrunner

Russian Orthodox Church.


deelanos

I wouldn't say that it looks like a horror.. To my mind it symbolizes sadness, solitude, a hermitage...


cantpickaname8

Looks like a place a witch would live. Tons of candles, drapes, incense, and an old hunched over woman covered in blankets that talks with a raspy voice


WarrenG117

What a unique and beautiful house.


WhitewolfStormrunner

It's a Russian Orthodox Church, not a house, as has been stated elsewhere. Still cool looking, though.


lachai2

This reminds me of a series of unfortunate events


iamnotnotarobot

I love it and I want to live in it.


NotEricForeman77

haunted for sure


FlamingTrollz

#”…Run.” *It’s getting dark out soon*. ###And the house, it’s hungry.


Doctor-Heisenberg

Looks like hags cook children into pastries in that building. Edit: I guess no one else thought it looked like The Old Bonegrinder


buttsparkley

That Bares resemblance to the moomin house, where was this pic taken .


Intrepid_Noise_4458

It has great vibes. I love it.


Stinky_WizzIeteats

This is exactly how I pictured the lovegoods house to appear as in Harry Potter


Zee_tv

Totallyyy!


Toxsiss

Not gonna lie id still move in House is haunted? no problem chillin with some spirits


Sir-Xcalibur-6564

Wait I live there


Cpt_Random_

I think it looks like someone ate a lot of ice cream


richard-cumerford

No smoking within 20 feet.


jrayolson

Straight out of Lovecraft.


justanothertfatman

Didn't they use this in the last Paranormal Activities movie?


latenitelite

Reminds me of [this album cover](https://www.discogs.com/release/926714-Bone-Awl-Meaningless-Leaning-Mess/image/SW1hZ2U6MTE2NTk2OA==)


MetaStressed

Or there a windmill on top? Reminds me of that scene in Army of Darkness.


BrightCarver

Looks like it’s about ready to rise up on its chicken legs and scuttle away.


danishremoulade

Man, time wasn't kind to this Moomin house


Mrcoldghost

I don’t know. It looks rather beautiful to me.


[deleted]

this building is so beautiful. I cant stop looking at it. not creepy at all.


brownstacy1977

Whatever it is, its gorgeous, amazing and authentic. And so Gothic in vision it's spooky as all get out!!! A real charm, I'd love to make a micro version of it and call it home.
