Shettihalli Rosary Church
Shettihalli Rosary Church is a ruined 19th-century Gothic church located in Shettihalli village on the banks of the Hemavati River near Hassan, Karnataka. Built in the 1860s by French missionaries, it was abandoned after the construction of the Gorur Dam in 1960, which causes the Hemavati Reservoir to submerge the structure during monsoon. Known as the Floating Church, its skeletal arches and roofless nave attract visitors for photography and heritage interest.
