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…

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…
Visited with Peter ‘Hands’ Costello on a very cold February morning. My first explore for a little while after spending a few months overseas working, it was good to get out again getting covered in dust and creeping around in the dark 🙂
Another bunch of vehicles concealed within the trees of a small forest in France. Let me know in the comments what cards we have here guys & gals as identifying them was never my strong suit :). If you’ve made it this far… thanks for reading/checking out the pictures. Leave me a comment below or hit…
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…
The Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Nuclear Power Plant, more commonly known as The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, was the site of what became the worst nuclear catastrophe to ever occur on this planet. The neighbouring town of Pripyat, which housed the works, their families and many other businesses which sprang up, had a population of just under 50,000 when the incident occurred…
Pensionnat de Chavagne is an impressive abandoned boarding school in France. Some of the original features include the vaulted arched ceilings, a hidden chapel and an impressive staircase…
A revisit to Hospital Plaza 3 years after my original trip in October 2014. The building had suffered from a bit of vandalism but fortunately not too much graffiti, there was some evidence that the building had been used by airsoft players, a few smashed windows and all of the theatre chairs had been cut but otherwise, the place was much the same from my first visit…
The Liverpool Fruit Exchange is a building which originally started its life as a railway goods depot and was constructed in approximately 1888. In 1923 the building was converted into a fruit exchange where traders would go to purchase bulk inventories of fruit which had likely been imported to the nearby docks. The lower levels which were previously used as warehouses and storage for the goods that were sold, were repurposed decades ago and are currently operating as bars and nightclubs…
The Naval and Military Club, known informally as The In & Out Club in London was once a very prestigious private members club which has since moved to new premises located in St Jame’s Square. 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..
