The ruins of the former church of St Dunstan-in-the-East surprise visitors in the middle of the hustle and bustle of London City.
All that remains are the walls, some of which are densely overgrown with vines and climbing plants.
This also applies to the entrance area, which can be seen in the picture. You can still clearly see the stairs and the entrance, but as soon as you go inside, you are back out in the open. It is an impressive testimony to earlier times:
The church was once built in the 13th century and was considered one of the largest churches in London.
Restored several times, only the tower has "survived" to this day. The rest of the church and the churchyard are now a popular place to relax, as the square serves as a public garden/park.
The dense plants in the entrance area are particularly beautiful and continue to overgrow the ruins, making it a magical and mystical place that is definitely worth a visit.
The motif is calm and at the same time an eye-catcher in any room. It combines history, architecture and nature.
