It appears to be a watch tower of some sort, it might be after a flood or they might have just built it there for better defense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It’s the church steeple for the town of Curon, Italy

(snip) “...Per the BBC, Curon was once a village of hundreds of people, before it was sacrificed in the name of energy. In 1950, it was intentionally flooded to create an artificial lake for a hydroelectric plant....”
