Built in the 1950's and consisting of nearly 50 small parabolas it was made to observe the changes in solar activity It seems to of been out of use for sometime but I think it is being maintained by enthusiasts and one large parabola is still in use. I made two visits over the weekend once at...

A former trading venue / Chamber of Commerce (built in the 16th century, then destroyed and rebuilt during the 18th century). Architecturally one of the most interesting objects that I have photographed in recent years. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14...

Well this was a bit of an old location by time I got to visit. Still in quite good condition though. The locals do seem quite protective of it. Set in a quiet town I guess this was the local doctors house. Not easy to find much history and it is quite well documented already. So on with the...

I've been gagging to see this one since it popped up over 12 months ago, but soon after it appeared it became a no go! Sealed!! :( Fast forward a year or so and it reappears! :) Game on!! ...Manoir de Baron Rouge... [/URL] ... ... ...

Yesterday we went to visit Val Benoit University. Here are some shots. I still have a lot to learn but we had a lot of fun exploring this building. Tips , advice and constructive criticism is always welcome! :thumb :) -Rody

Visited with some friends from the Netherlands at the end of October, we had planned to make a day of visiting HF4 but we were thwarted in our efforts to get into the main power station so we settled for the cooling towers at HF4 and IM (and a couple of other sites too). Both of these are huge...

After a long and bumpy ride (lowered car, which was terrible on the roads surrounding the sanatorium:D ) we finally arrived on location. While searching for an entrance we saw some fellow urbexers on top of the clock tower, I just knew i wanted a piece of that. :P 1. 2. 3. 4. 5...

I discovered the castle from the 18th century, a few years ago on an aerial view on the internet. But somehow it got then forgotten again, so I visited it just more than a year later. Later, I talked with a woman from the village who knew to tell interesting details about the castle (which I do...

Chateau HB I'm not sure if this place has a code name so I made one up! I'm also not really sure of the history of this place other than it seems to date from the late 18th century and has probably had extensions and additions over the years, and probably ended its useful life with a fire - as...

Basically I guess I do not need to tell anything about this place, because I think it is one of the most known abandoned castles ... But nevertheless here still a few historical data: In the 18th century, the owner of the neighboring castle were evicted from their property and found shelter in...

When we arrived on this location we heard a lot of noise coming from inside the church, didn't know what to think of it so we slowly walked through the house towards the church. To discover the noise was comming from a generator. Turns out there were some people doing a photoshoot, with lights...

Loved this place, failed at first attempt a couple of months back so was really happy to get inside on this trip. I don't know much about the history of the place other than it's an abandoned university with much grandeur going on inside. Massive thanks to Obscurity for letting me borrow his...

Visited this little church with Dursty, Miz & Obs. It was just meant to be a quick reccie as Dursty had spotted it on google maps and figured it looked worth a closer inspection. Turned out to be one of the highlights of our weekend, very pristine and no decay whatsoever but fascinating that...

More like Bird Poop Church, because goddamn, the crap's everywhere. Both literally. Planned to go there tomorrow, because of a friend who didn't have time. But they reported sun today and rain tomorrow, so tough luck :upu3: (But we'll pass by it tomorrow again, anyway.) A bunch of pigeons...

Built early in the 20th century as a monastery, in a quiet Belgian village. Around the 1950s it became a care home for the elderly and at some point it was extended into the home nextdoor. It had the capacity of around 50 residents. Now it lays dormant and nature is taking over. 1. 2...

Built late in the 18th century by a notable family of the city, this stunning mansion has been left abandoned for sometime. I believe its last use was as a hotel. Around 1930 it was split into seperate properties but was later on combined back to one building. It had been purchased around ten...

Quite a plain looking building from the outside, this hospital built in the mid 19th century holds some hidden beauty. The main entrance takes you straight into a beautiful chapel. Considering the hospital has been abandoned for some years now it is in remarkable condition. 1. 2. 3...

Well, the last set of our Belgium tour last week. This was the first visit, around 08.00 AM. Inside we decided to split up, there were very small rooms (happy with my 10/20 ;) ) so Renzenator and I took the ground floor, while a buddy went upstairs. After a couple of seconds we heard him...
