Urbex - Bride's mansion

Urbex – Bride’s mansion

Abandoned house somewhere in Belgium. It’s already been some time when I went exploring this big house, but for some reasons I hadn’t posted it yet. So what’s it about ? Well, it’s a very big house, probably an old farm, with a lot of furniture in it. Everything seems untouched and that’s what make it quite special !

Urbex - Fort de la Chartreuse

Urbex – Fort de la Chartreuse: Gallery update

I’ve updated the gallery of the Fort de la Chartreuse, as I went back to this old abandoned fort to show it to a friend of mine. It had already been a few years since my first visit there, and there were not much changes there, it’s just slowly decaying more and more…

Urbex - Moulin Bols

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…

Urbex - Chapelle de la Rose

Urbex – Chapelle de la Rose

Abandoned chapel somewhere in Belgium. This lovely chapel was part of a very old hospice built next to it. From what I know, the chapel has been built in 1624 but I don’t know when it’s been left abandoned. I had to get there very early in the morning because of the neighbourhood and though it’s not big, I had a great time exploring this place.

Urbex - Villa des lions

Urbex – Villa des lions

Abandoned villa somewhere in Belgium. I had already spotted this villa some time ago, but when I got there to explore it, it didn’t seemed to be the right time. I knew this villa under another name. When a friend of mine proposed me to get to a place called “Villa des lions“, I didn’t know it was the same place. And that day we did enter the house, though it took us a little while before getting the opportunity to get in thanks to the neighbourhood.

Urbex - Paternoster farm

Urbex – Paternoster Farm

Abandoned farm somewhere in Belgium. This is a very little farm that probably once stood in the middle of the countryside but that is now on the middle of a street surrounded by freshly built modern houses. At first sight, one can doubt of the interest of the place, but once you’re inside it you can’t help but be amazed by this little hidden gem.

Urbex - Moulin A

Urbex – Moulin A

Abandoned mill somewhere in Belgium. This mill has been built in the first quarter of the 20th century and seems to have been left abandoned for some years already. It is a huge building. A big part of the building is empty, probably the part where the flour was stored. But there were still a lot of things to see !

Urbex - Vulcan's Fire

Urbex – Vulcan’s Fire

Abandoned steel factory somewhere in Belgium. For this exploration, I had the chance to get the authorisation to visit and take pictures of this wonderful place before they demolish the place. I’m really thankful for this as urbexers have seldom this chance. And this was a fantastic exploration !

Urbex – Charbonnage de Forte-Taille

Abandoned coal mine somewhere in Belgium. The place was first used as a quarry during the 19th century before being exploited as a coal mine in 1910. This was on of the deepest european mine at the time. In 1935, the coal mine closed its doors and has been left abandoned since then.
