Mystalgia

A feeling of longing, wonder, curiosity, and familiarity toward an unresolved mystery, often accompanied by the desire to return to or explore something hidden, forgotten, or never fully understood.

That abandoned cathedral gave me a wave of mystalgia.

The place looked unfamiliar, yet somehow it triggered mystalgia.
