Hello,
The best example for that is probably one of the winning pictures in Russia last year. The burning church. That was a monument which was captured in its final moments. [1]
The Russian church has been restored long ago. The picture is not from 2011, it was taken much earlier. Indeed in Russia many monuments disappear every year (burn or get demolished without permission / solicited into removal from the monument list), but Saint Petersburg is relatively good in this respect as a World Heritage site, and I do not think any of the pictures from the last year contest represent lost monuments.
