Human civilization has created architecture. People build buildings, but some of them remain abandoned.

Ruins of St. Mary's Seminary



Better known as "Hell House". There was once a Roman Catholic seminary here that operated from the 1860s to the 1970s. Due to lack of registration, it was forced to close its doors.

Several parts still survive, one of which includes this altar. It is said that it was painted by a local artist, but his name is not yet known.

The area was named "Hell House" after rumors that the altar became a place of witchcraft and rituals. Two local residents confirmed this, even stating that they often find candles and other items left behind by these practices.
