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
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 – Alla Italia
Abandoned thermal institute somewhere in Belgium. I wouldn’t have called this place Alla Italia, but the urbex community loves to give strange nicknames to the abandoned places, so the guy who found that place called it Alla Italia. Probably due to the beautiful painted ceillings and the columns that somehow reminded him of the italian architecture.
Urbex – Manoir du Chasseur
Abandoned manor somewhere in Belgium. This beautiful manor is lost in a great park. I don’t know the reasons why it’s been abandoned, but it didn’t seem like it was so long ago. It is in an excellent condition, and though it is empty, it’s still a majestic place, with a very impressive staircase and also a little hidden surprise !
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 – Hôpital Psy
Abandoned psychiatric hospital somewhere in Belgium. This hospital is not totally abandoned, there is still a part of it that is active. Unfortunately, some of the abandoned buildings were recently destroyed by a fire.
