In the small village of Luková, Czech Republic, stands the hauntingly beautiful St. George's Church. Built in the 14th century, the church fell into disrepair after the roof collapsed during a funeral service in 1968. The local congregation believed the building was cursed and abandoned it. In recent years, an art installation by Jakub Hadrava has breathed new life into the church. The installation features ghostly figures draped in white sheets, seated in the pews, creating an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere. This art project has attracted visitors from around the world, drawn by the juxtaposition of decay and artistic expression. The church now serves as a reminder of the power of art to transform and preserve history, even in the most unexpected places.
