Why is This Church Steeple in a Lake?

Anyone visiting Lake Reschen in South Tyrol will quickly find themselves marvelling at the church spire rising up out of the water. It is all that remains of the village of Graun. In the 1950s, an Italian electricity company built a reservoir for a hydroelectric power plant to generate electricity. The valley surrounding Graun was flooded and the residents of the village were forced to move. Today, barely any trace of Graun remains – just the 14th-century bell tower of the parish church St Katharina.
