Urbex – Château de Mesen
Abandoned castle somewhere in Belgium. This castle must have been truly a beauty in its time, but it’s actually in a really bad condition. In fact it’s in such an advanced state of decay that the upper floors are not accessible. This is the reason why, I haven’t done much picture of this place…

Urbex – Moulin Bols
Abandoned water mill somewhere in Belgium. This was a very short exploration this time, as this mill is very little: it only has a few rooms which are all empty except for the machinery. As far as I know, this mill has been built around 1750, a place that must have seen a lot of changes ! It is not yet in a too bad condition of decay, but if nobody tries to renovate it quickly, it won’t last long before it collapses on itself…
