SLIDESHOW: Churches for book lovers, skateboarders, and supercomputers.

by Melville House

If you’re an atheist bibliophile with a love for church architecture, things don’t get much more appealing than the gorgeous Selexyz bookstore in The Netherlands, formerly a Dominican church.

Last week Mental Floss posted photographs of churches converted to secular pursuits, including the Selexyz. Using the tips in the comments, we put together a slideshow of other churches with non-religious purposes:

The Selexyz Dominicanen bookstore in Maastricht, Netherlands is located inside an 800-year-old church
The Selexyz was previously used as a bicycle parking lot!
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Skaterham in Caterham Surrey
Halo, a nightclub in Leeds
Urban Krag, a climbing wall in Dayton, Ohio
And finally, another bookstore inside a church. The Village Bookstore in Worthington, Ohio
