Urbex: Château Poseidon, France – March 2018
I feel like I may have said this before… maybe its just something about the style of French Châteaux, but I can’t help but feel like this place looks like something out of a fairytale…
Urbex: Château Sarco aka Château de Nainville les Roches, France – March 2018
Well a little break from the norm, I don’t usually name most of the locations that I visited in Europe however, this one, Château Sarco aka Château de Nainville les Roches is fortunately no longer abandoned and has been repurposed as an active events venue…
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. Probably the most notable feature of this Castle was the carved wooden fireplace in one of the reception rooms downstairs and the stone columns in the entrance hall, definitely one I would have loved to have seen prior to it becoming empty…
Urbex: Château Pink Panther, Belgium – March 2017
Château Pink Panther, as this place became known, was a fair-sized Château which had undergone some modernisation but also retained some of the original features. Located in an affluent area, this castle suffered a fire and was left abandoned for several years before being purchased and renovated by new owners…
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: 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: 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.
