WAS THIS CRAZY STRUCTURE BUILT BY MAN OR SOME ANCIENT VISITOR?
LET ME SEE IF I CAN EXPLAIN IT THE BEST I CAN…
HAVE YOU SEEN THE GEICO FISHERMAN COMMERCIAL?
Well, when you find an article about a crazy big giant chicken church tucked away deep in the Indonesian judge… and you learn who put it there, and why…
“YOU TELL OTHERS… IT’S WHAT YOU DO!!!
God forbid YOUR spouse comes home with a “vision” like this… once you see how this vision ended up, you’ll know to get them to the funny farm pronto, lest you be sleeping under a bridge somewhere because the family is bankrupt over an enormous glorification of a barnyard animal.

The building is known as ‘Gereja Ayam’ – or Chicken Church – in the area of Magelang, Central Java where it stands
Daniel Alamsjah, 67, built the structure in 1990 after he had a vision from God to build a ‘prayer house’ atop a hill
Hundreds of curious travelers and worshipers from many different religions travel to Indonesia to see it every year
Hidden deep inside the Indonesian jungle lies an enchanted ‘church’ which looks like a giant chicken.
The long-abandoned structure known locally as Gereja Ayam – or Chicken Church – attracts hundreds of curious travelers and photographers to the hills of Magelang, Central Java, every year.
But according to the its eccentric creator, the majestic building is neither a chicken nor a church.
Daniel Alamsjah was working in Jakarta – 342 miles away – when he suddenly got a divine message from God to build a ‘prayer house’ in the form of a dove.

Comfortable: One traveler described how there are as many as 15 rooms inside the crumbling prayer house and some of them even have beds
‘Perhaps because of my Christian faith, people thought I was building a church. But it’s not a church. I was building a prayer house… a place for people who believe in God,’ the 67-year-old told Jakarta Globe.
In 1989, he was walking through the Magelang, where his wife’s family live, when he caught sight of the exact same landscape he had seen in his dreams.
‘I prayed all night there and I got a revelation that I must build the prayer house in that spot,’ he said.
One year later, local land owners offered him the 3,000 square metres of land on Rhema Hill for just two million rupees – or £110 – which he paid off over four years.
Now people of many different religions – including Buddhists, Muslims and Christians – travel to the remote ‘prayer house’ to worship in their own way.
