While searching for unusual places and things, I realized that the hunt for unusual is like an unquenchable thirst. The moment I see unusual things or objects in a particular niche, another subject springs up in my mind. My last article in this niche featured Ten unusual houses<\/a><\/span>. Today, I have gathered a list of unusual churches around the world. Have you ever thought of seeing bones in a church, or walked into a church baring yourself? Or, have you seen people descending to reach the church in the underground level to pray? These and a lot more interesting churches are enlisted below:<\/p>\n

Saint Michel d’Aiguilhe, Auvergne<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Saint Michel d’Aiguilhe Church sits atop a basalt rock in the town of Puy-en-Velay. The rock has been a sacred place for several years. This church dedicated to St. Michael constructed in 961 has replaced an ancient place of worship. As the church sits high up, as if between the earth and the sky, only agile people can climb it easily. This unusual church has an extraordinary legend attached to it. A maid was accused of misconduct and to prove her innocence, she was thrown from the chapel. She survived without injuries and to confirm her purity, she was thrown the second time. She survived again. Blinded by conceit, she jumps the third time and loses her life.<\/p>\n

The Underground Church of St Jean, France<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Underground Church of St Jean is also known as, or the Monolithic church, or the Eglise Monolithique, or the Troglodyte Church. Located in the Aubeterre sur Dronne, this church was dug in the 12th<\/sup> century. The main purpose of constructing this church was to preserve the relics. This unusual monolith has been created out of the wall of limestone. Take a flight of stairs to descend to the church. It is one of the churches created in the underground level. The spooky graves dug in a part of the church evoke fear. Despite the high temperatures outside, the church offers a cool respite. Are you ready to go to the subterranean region?<\/p>\n
