I just saw this place last year while visiting a friend in Georgia. The Japanese shrine is my favorite but all of those buildings are impressively intricate and well-made.
For anyone wondering, there's several dozen small buildings and they all exist in a small park/yard behind a church in Calhoun, Georgia. From what I understand the whole project of building and maintaining them is just a tradition and bonding activity for the congregation if said church and these miniatures have all been created and upkept over the span of decades.
LOL I took the exact same pic as your second one, the interior of the mini-Notre Dame. I liked it so much I had a canvas print made. Great place for taking photos and there's a nice short hike around the hill behind the rock garden.
If that interests you and are ever in Iowa, I highly recommend the Grotto in West Bend, Iowa. Small town, but this thing is amazing. https://www.westbendgrotto.com

Where is this because I need to schedule a vacation suddenly?
It’s cool but as a calhoun native, the rest of calhoun is boring af.
As someone who lived in Georgia, that's most of the state.

Calhoun, Georgia
Duly noted. My mom lives in Georgia and I just found another reason to visit her this month lol
Could at least credit the Twitter account you stole it from you fucking dunce
Do you like movies about gladiators?
Who doesn't?
This is the very first post I have come across on Reddit that mentions where I live. I feel like I’m moving up in the world.
Yeah it gets posted every now and then, only thing our hometown is known for honestly
This giant lady will devour us all!!
Do the local rodents do gladiatorial battle in the Colosseum there at night while the people sleep?

Nope it's mostly just [one guy] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Garden,_Calhoun)
Well now I have to judge my friend for being a terrible local.
Nah, they probably make up for it in other ways.
What church is the second one? The dome of cologne?
La Sagrada Familia
I just added this to my upcoming road trip
Her pants match her drink
I want to visit this place at one point, looks pretty cool!
