Abandoned steel factory somewhere in Belgium. As always with the heavy industry, this site is very huge and impressive. One can really feel small wandering among the gigantic rusting machinery.
Urbex – Industrial
Urban exploration of industrial places.
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 – 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
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.
Urbex – Moulin B
Abandoned mill somewhere in Belgium. I found this old watermill with a friend of mine while driving through a little village. We came back a few days later to explore it and, though we didn’t know what we would find inside, we had very high expectations about it, and we haven’t been disappointed !
Urbex – Filature Les Bobines
An abandoned spinning mill somewhere in Belgium. Belgium was famous for its textile industry in the past. That was before all this industry relocate in Asia. I don’t know anything about this place, when was it built and why it’s been abandoned ? A friend of mine told me about this location, so I went there to see what was left of it.
Urbex – Brewery C
Abandoned brewery somewhere in Belgium. By chance, this little brewery has been totally preserved from vandalism. Looking at the exterior of this building, no one could imagine all the things that are still left untouched. All the machines are there, with a lot of other little things, like bottles. It was a very pleasant exploration to do !
Urbex – Terres Rouges
Abandoned steel factory somewhere in Luxembourg. This is a well known place in urban exploration. This factory has been built in 1870 and was acquired by the société métallurgique des Terres Rouges in 1919. In 1997, the last furnace was shut down and the site was abandoned. A typical story for the european steel industry.
Urbex – Cimenterie Delwart
Abandoned cement factory somewhere in Belgium. This old factory has been founded in 1926 and, from what I know, it’s been abandoned since 1962. I just know that at one time, it employed about 170 workers. The site is has several buildings built with old rocks and a big tower in bricks.
