An old abandoned coalmine, there are only a few buildings left of it. Some buildings are still occupied, they’re used as warehouse by a construction material shop. Strangely, the buildings were used as a zoo at a certain time, but the zoo closed a few years later.

Urbex – Cokeries d’Anderlues
Abandoned coke factory. There really isn’t much left of it. It seems that they’re half demolishing, half reconverting the site. It’s now the playground of soft air players. This is one of the dirtiest place I’ve ever explored.
Urbex – Chateau de Noisy
Also known as “Château Miranda”, this beautifuyl castle lost in the woods has been abandoned since the 90’s. It’s been used at a moment as a holiday colony for the children of the emplloyees of the belgian rail company. Unfortunately, this castle is in a really bad state actually, and will soon crumble if nothing’s done to save it.
Urbex – Piscine HS
This is an abandoned outdoor swimming pool. It is located in a leisure center, next to a lake where you can practice different nautic sports such as sailing. I think it has been built in the 30’s, but I don’t know for how long it’s been abandoned.
Urbex – Hippodrome de Groenendael
This hippodrome, deep in the woods, was abandoned in 2001. It has now been totally demolished so that nature can reclaim the place. A real shame that it hasn’t been reconverted as it was in really good state a few years ago.
Urbex – Forges de Clabecq
This is a very well known industrial site in Belgium. The forges de clabecq are particularly known for the social fights that took place in the early 2000 when it was closed. Thousands of people lost their jobs. The site is now being demolished.
Urbex – Crypte L
Abandoned crypt somewhere in Belgium. This crypt is located under a graveyard which, despite not being abandoned, is in a very bad state.
Urbex – Filature Nouvelle-Orléans
Exploration of an abandoned spinning mill somewhere in Belgium. Unfortunately, there was not much left to see, the buildings were almost empty except for some trash. Still it was a beautiful place.
Urbex – Manoir P.
Urban exploration of an old abandoned manor somewhere in Belgium. There wasn’t much left of it, so the gallery’s pretty little.
Urbex – Salve Mater
The Salve Mater is a well known place by urban explorers. It is an abandoned psychiatric hospital that was inaugurated in 1926. It is composed of a few buildings. Some are still occupied, but the most part of them is left abandoned.
