Was es nicht alles so gibt! So wie diese Kirche in den W\u00e4ldern Indonesiens in der Form eines Huhns.<\/p>\n
Towering above the trees in a densely forested area of Indonesia lies a giant chicken. The gigantic structure has the body, tail, and head of the bird, even holding open its beak in what appears to be mid-squawk. Although the very old bird is quickly decaying, Gereja Ayam (as the locals call it) attracts hundreds of photographers and travelers to its location in Magelang, Central Java each year who are looking to explore the bird\u2019s bizarre interior.<\/p>\n
The building was originally built as a prayer house by 67-year-old Daniel Alamsjah after he received a divine message from God. Although he intended the building to resemble a dove, the locals care more that it looks like a chicken, nicknaming it \u201cChicken Church.\u201d In addition to a prayer house, Alamsjah also used the building as a rehabilitation center, treating disabled children, drug addicts, and others. Alamsjah was forced to shut the center\u2019s doors fifteen years ago after steep construction costs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
