Château Grimpeur

Urbex: Château Grimpeur, France – March 2018

Château Grimpeur, this spot had some really nice features to it… the attached private chapel, whilst suffering a lot from water ingress, was cute and full of hand-painted decorated stonework. Inside the main Château, the most notable features were the very wide decorative marble archways both in the main corridor, main entrance and then leading into what was one of the most impressive staircases I’d seen for a while…

Urbex: Chateau Chimera, France – September 2017

Chateau Chimera is yet another beautiful castle in France which has slowly fallen into disrepair. Visited on a warm and sunny autumn afternoon with a few good friends, this particular Chateau is really suffering from neglect and despite indications that someone at some point had attempted to make a start with renovating this building, there were very little suggestions that any recent works had taken place.

Founded in 1862, the club was originally for gentlemen of the British Armed Forces but later opened its door to both female and male members. The building is tipped to become one of the most expensive private dwelling properties in the United Kingdom..

Brewers House - Yorkshire - Exterior

Urbex: Brewer’s House, Yorkshire – June 2017

Brewer’s house is an empty mansion which appeared to be undergoing some renovation works albeit at a slow pace. The house sits within very large grounds in a fairly isolated location within the Yorkshire countryside. I don’t have a lot of history on this place, but from what I could gather the house is owned by a very wealthy businessman who apparently a very private person…
