Urbex: Château Face Off, France – June 2016
Château Face Off was definitely one of my favourite explores of 2016. Smaller than I had anticipated, the Château was full of relics from the former occupants most notably three rather unusual bustes…
Urbex: Château Stromae, France – June 2016
The abandoned Château Stromae is yet another architecturally stunning castle in France which sits abandoned in a deteriorating state. As you can see from the exterior photos this building has been added to over the years and has quite a history to it as well…
Urbex: Château Chasseur de cerf, France – June 2016
Another interesting disused Chateau in France, this building from what I understand is earmarked for restoration despite being in a pretty bad condition structurally.
Urbex: Castle Miranda aka Château de Noisy Belgium – June 2016 (revisit 2)
Quite likely my last visit to this Castle, for those who might not have already heard the castle is being demolished / dismantled and work began shortly after my visit last year.Plenty of photos have circulated showing the tops of the towers and turrets removed and laying on the ground as well as other clearance works on the grounds…
Urbex: The Dolls House, Wales – May 2016
Now, I’m pretty sure that contrary to the name of this place… The Doll didn’t actually own the house… nor was it an actual Dolls House. This small stone built farmhouse sits isolated, a small walk from a country road surrounded by empty fields. Clearly disused for decades the place was starting to fall apart but…
Urbex: Tottenham House, Savernake Estate, Wiltshire – May 2016
The currently empty Tottenham House is a large Grade 1 listed building in the United Kingdom which has sat disused for some time. In 2014 the property sold to a multi-millionaire property developer after a long battle between the trustee and the Earl of Cardigan who were the previous joint owners.
Urbex: Château Martin du Pecheur, France – February 2016
The abandoned Château Martin du Pecheur. We stopped off at this place during our trip having seen a few older reports, disappointing the few bits of contents that did remain were now gone and the Château was pretty much empty.
Urbex: Château Secession, France – February 2016
Château Secession, maybe 2016’s busiest location…
Urbex: Daresbury Hall aka Zombie Manor, Cheshire, England – October 2015
Daresbury Hall is an abandoned Grade II* listed, 17th Century, Georgian style country house which was built in 1759 for George Heron. After serving as a private residence for some time, in the Second World War, the building was used as a military hospital and then from 1955 functioned as a residential care home before being used as a huge cannabis farm and then eventually set on fire…
Urbex: Château Gryffindor, France – September 2015
The Chateau itself was obviously the main draw and I think accounts for most of the photos below including the lovely spiral staircase which leads up to a small landing area with decoratively painted walls. There was a room with an examination bed and a few pieces of other medical equipment which were one of the few remaining reminders of the last function of the building as a care home for the elderly.
