Abandoned cooling tower somewhere in Belgium. Exploring a cooling tower is always an interesting thing to do. I haven’t explored much of them right now, but I know that this one was hiding a quite unusual little thing…
Each cooling tower that I saw has its own particularities, and this one is no exception. This is not a very big cooling tower as it was attached to a small powerplant which used to provide power only to an industrial site. The interior is made of wood, and it’s a bit scary because you’re quite high when you’re inside the tower and the wood looks very old and is rotten in some places. The thing that makes this tower special is the presence of a little caban. I really don’t know what it was used for and what’s inside it. I didn’t tried to access it because of the bad condition of the wood: I really didn’t wanted to end my day at the hospital, so this caban remains a mystery to me. I also explored a little building just next to the cooling tower, but it wasn’t that interesting. How long has this cooling tower been abandoned for ? I don’t know, but the nearby industrial site has ceased all activities since 2008, so I guess the tower was stopped around that date…
