Shettihalli Rosary Church - Church in Hassan, Settihalli - Hassan, India

It's a nice place to visit if you are nearby or visiting areas around. It is a remote location so don't expect any shops or other amenities in the near vicinity. You can easily spend 2-3 hrs looking around and appreciating the beauty of ruins/remains of this ancient structure. And can spend some time near the lake shore. It has some excellent silhouettes and will definitely be intriguing for the photographers as it provides a perfect backdrop for photoshoots. Also roads leading to this place are well maintained so shouldn't be a problem reaching there. Try to visit in the early morning or evening as sunsets and sunrises are definitely something you would love to watch. Would have given 5 stars if it could be a little cleaner or maintained.

If you are nearby Hassan or in that way then you might take this decision to visit this place. Just a relaxing place and nothing much there. No traces of complete history of the church, infrastructure completely shattered. One can visit this places two time a year- monsoon and post monsoon. During monsoon the church will be submerged in water to some extent and post that one can roam around the church. This church is near a water body and next time to visit is during sunrise or sunset and the view is amazing. No stalls available, no washroom or anything there. Good place for photo shoot.

Ruins of an old church. Large parts of the structure have collapsed due to constant flooding and no maintenance and many of the walls are defaced by visitors. However it's still nice to visit. You can ride all the way up to the church on cars or bikes. There's ample parking. When the water levels are down, you can even ride into the church ruins. There is also a nice view from the bridge across the reservoir. The approach roads from Hassan highway are scenic, but pass through villages, so you need to ride carefully. No stalls available near the spot, so need to bring sufficient water along

Nice place to visit once. Good to visit during the afternoon and early evening time. Might get spooky during the late hours. No houses or colonies near the location. Seems to be a place to wonder about its origin, civilization and the history around it. There are few vendors, who sell water, juice and snacks in portable vehicles. Saw a party having their pre Wedding shoot. Can go there by car and bike. No tickets necessary. Maybe they should recognise it as a tourist spot and maintain it. It's just a beautiful wreck which is not monitored by authorities and is abandoned to go unnoticed by the majority.

No one says you are in Karnataka. Just beautiful Gothic charm Despite the decay, the church exudes a sense of history and mystery that is truly mesmerizing. It's a place where time seems to stand still, inviting contemplation and reflection amidst its fading grandeur.

We went on weekday ...so less crowded ....few photography for pre wedding was going on especially evening time.....we spent around 4 hrs just by sitting at one place having small talks ....I would recommend to go to this place especially weekdays to enjoy calmness and peace...

This desered church ID situated at around 40 km away from Hassan, Karnataka. It seems this was constructed by The French 1860s and was submerged in water and deserted when the hemavathi reservoir or the gorur dam was constructed in 1960s. There is absolutely no information or any sort at the place. One has to depend on local tea, coffee, juice snacks sellers for information and Wikipedia. Wish the government puts some information about the same along with what type of architecture ( should be French) was it. This place is situated at the catchment area of the hemavathi dam. The water Is really pure river water. Lot of people come for.taking photos as it is a good place to do photos hoots.

This church was built in 18th century. But after building of hemavathi dam some part of building was submerged in reservoir. From hassan city needs to travel 30mins to reach this church. Road is good towards shettihalli. No entry fees no parking fees.
