Spectacular Church To See In Italy - Graun Church Tower, Lake Resia, South Tyrol

Graun Church Tower, Lake Resia, South Tyrol

This isn’t a church you can visit, as such - although when the lake is frozen, you can tiptoe over the ice to see what is still visible of it at closer range. Located in South Tyrol, the town of Graun has been submerged beneath Lake Resia since 1950, when a dam was built to generate electric power: the bell tower of the 14th century church can still be seen. Legend has it that the bells are still heard, despite the fact that these were removed before the flooding.
