TABERNAC! Pic Heavy

In the summer of 2017 RiddimRyder Photography​ and I drove over 6 hours to explore a city we had yet to visit, we had two full days planned and a lot of ground to cover. The first and main reason for our summer road trip was to visit this huge abandoned cathedral that we had been seeing in some friends posts and profiles.

We would arrive in the city at around midnight and had planned to sleep inside the cathedral and get a good early start. We actually planned to set up our hammocks in the politicians mansion, but sadly it was all boarded up.

We spent far too long trying to find our way into this place. Actually getting inside was a breeze, it was finding our way up to the main level from the basement that proved to be a challenge.

After nearly an hour or more of trying doors, false stairways, locked doors, etc we finally found ourselves inside this giant dark room…..at 2:00 in the morning, an eerie place to be that close to the witching hour, in a huge silent pitch black cathedral.

We quietly walked the inner perimeter, inspected all of the balconies in search of a secure enough place to hang our hammocks and sleep in here for the night.

We thought we found a spot, using a radiator as one anchor and a metal wall railing as the other…as soon as we tried to sit in the hammocks the railing almost snapped off.




Pack up the hammocks, head down to my car…we’re sleeping in my car.

It’s now 3:00am, Riddims offensively large cooler is in the back seat, so our seats won’t recline. It’s hot as shit, so we have to crack the windows, people are being loud and there are streetlights shining in our faces.

On top of all this, I have a serious case of restless leg and now my right leg won’t stop involuntarily twitching.

One of us wakes up, then the other naturally wakes up, because even blinking would make my car shake…it’s just after 6am, we figure we probably slept for 2 hours if that.

Head to McDonalds for a terrible breakfast and much needed coffee and we head back into the church, we set up and I take my first photo at 7:13am, we won’t settle in for the day until after 11:00pm

Fuck those tags, and fuck those fuckers who hanged the statue from the balcony. This place was almost still pristine when I got to visit it.

[An english version will follow !]

Je n'avais jamais vu cet endroit avec des graffitis. Aucun respect...

I've never seen this place with tags ! No respect...
Great pictures tough !

Cette église est vraiment fascinante. J'y suis allé une première fois seul en début juin et l'ambiance était paisible, tout était en ordre, aucune trace de vandalisme.
J'étais pas satisfait de mes photos alors j'ai essayé d'y retourner au cours de l'été, mais les cinq fois que j'y suis allé je n'ai pas trouvé de moyen d'entrer.

J'ai finalement réussi à y pénétrer cet automne et j'ai été étonné de toutes les choses qui ont pu se passer là-dedans pendant seulement deux mois. Premièrement, j'ai croisé le faux cadavre de prêtre lorsque je déambulais dans le noir dans le sous sol, disons que ça m'a pas mal fait sursauter.

Ensuite, rendu dans l'église, lorsque je me suis approché de l'orgue, j'ai entendu un autre orgue qui a commencé à jouer. Au début, je pensais que j'avais appuyé sur un des boutons sans m'en rendre compte, puis j'ai réalisé que le son était beaucoup trop lointain pour que ce soit le même. L'orgue a continué de jouer pendant une dizaine de minutes puis des chants religieux se sont ajoutés à la mélodie. J'ai d'abord pensé que quelqu'un au sous-sol me jouait un tour, mais quand je suis redescendu au rez-de-chaussé, j'ai remarqué que la musique venait du côté du presbytère. Je pense que le prêtre vit encore à l'intérieur. Peut-être qu'il m'a vu entrer et qu'il voulait me faire peur, ou peut-être qu'il aime juste écouter de la musique religieuse à tue-tête chez lui...

En tous cas, j'ai été pas mal déçu par les graffitis, surtout un qui dit «bientôt les condos», aucun respect. J'ai juste envie de revenir avec un pot de peinture blanche et d'effacer tout ça. Cette église reste un des lieux les plus incroyable que j'ai pu visiter.

That hung statue almost made me puke.

At first, I was SURE it was a real man x.x

Those are beautiful shots, it's a same such a place gets desecrated. People really have no respect, nowadays...

Moi ausi j'ai entendu de l'orgue jouer durant ma visite et c'était vraiment une super ambiance!
Le bâtiment de l'église est relativement abandonné mais la paroise est enrore active et les cérémonies religieuses se déroulent maintenant dans le presbytère à côté qui donne direct dans l'église, donc c'est probablement ce que tu as entendu.

We first entered the church at around 1am or so and it was pitch black so we had to use our flashlights, careful not to flash them at the windows.

Imagine how we reacted when we spotted that hanging in the dark in the distance.

I would love to respond to other comments but me not speak the french

Last time i went inside this church, the guy was on the the floor in the basement, i turned the corner i my heart just stopped, at first i thought it was somebody dead, but then i remembered the guy that was hanging on the second floor. I think that's really disrespectful, the guy who did that is really dumb honestly..
