39 Of The Most Breathtaking Forgotten Places Shared In The ‘Abandoned Beauties’ Facebook Group
Most of us find architecture fascinating. The built environment around us reflects the history and culture of a place that can shape our experiences and perceptions of an area. However, not all the buildings stand the test of time and many are left to decay. For some, they become unwanted ghosts of the past; for others, they are objects of mystery and awe.
“Abandoned Beauties” is a Facebook group dedicated to celebrating and sharing the beauty of old deserted places. With over 808 thousand members, this place is a treasure trove for all the lovers of urban exploration (urbex). We have gathered a collection of gorgeous images of forgotten structures. So continue scrolling through the uncharted wilds of urbex. Don’t forget to upvote your favorite images and share your thoughts in the comments!

We got in touch with Attila Deák, a 46-year-old Hungarian 3D artist, creative director, architect, photographer and the founder of The Urbex Club, to learn more about urbex photography and his experience exploring derelict urban structures.
The Urbex Club is an online platform (website, Facebook) dedicated to the team’s urbex travels. “We’ve visited more than 260 sites all over the world. Our site documents the highlights of the silent worlds. Over the past 22 years, we have been to hotels, castles, barracks, warehouses, villas, hospitals, and cultural venues, among others, scattered across 45 countries, and world-famous ruins such as 30+ ancient temples, Angkor in Cambodia, Chornobyl and Pripyat in Ukraine, the giant abandoned hotels of Croatia and the ‘haunted’ Ghost Hotel in Bali.
We are trying to focus on publishing consistent high-quality photos, and a detailed in-depth background story as well. This is perhaps the most interesting part of the project – constructing the narrative collectively. What was the building used for? Who owned it? Why did it become deserted? Often people who are closely linked to the site chime in with personal stories or observations.” Scroll down to read the whole interview!

Amazing Witch House Deep Into The Forest … Ireland

This is in the Czech Republic, as far as I know. But Ireland does have lots of other great abandoned places!
Attila Deák is a graduated architect, and he is leading the movie team at Brick Visual, making architectural visualization movies for the leading developers. The artist shared that as a hobby, he is a backpacker, traveling all over the world: “I really like to get off the path, take photos, and do travel vlogging, but my biggest hobby is urbex photography.”
The artist has been intrigued by deserted constructions since the age of 9 when in Hungary, the communist era ended, and the whole country was full of freshly abandoned buildings left there by the Russian troops. “We started to climb fences with my cousins to enter these factories, resorts, schools, offices, and barracks, but it was completely hidden from our parents, they thought that we were perfect kids. So it’s been 36 years that I’ve been an urbexer. Now taking it more and more seriously, as well as having 11000+ followers, gives me so much appreciation and positive feedback.
I started taking photos around 19 when I traveled a lot, and later I realized that people really like my photography style, and what I really like is to take artistic photos to show the strange mood of these sites. It makes me happy to present the unreachable decayed places to the viewers who probably would never be brave enough to enter any abandoned building.”

An Incredible Irish Mansion In Ruins , Located In The Middle Of A Forest Park
Mabelbabel 2 years ago (edited)
Moore Hall, County Mayo. During the Irish famine, the owner paid for food for all his tenants and refused to evict anyone for non-payment of rent, unlike many of the other Irish landowners. Not a single tenant of his died during the famine. The hall was burnt down in the 1920s by the IRA, it's just a facade now, with only the external stonework remaining.

Although it's still a nice place to visit, sadly the stairs collapsed a couple of years ago.
After exploring so many forgotten places, it might be hard to pick the one that has left the biggest impression. However, Attila shared that the “Arzt villa” in Germany was his favorite abandoned building he has ever discovered. “We had found hints of the location on Facebook among comments, but I had to wait 3 years to be able to pinpoint exactly where to find the mansion. This amazing building consists of many intriguing spaces and objects, like surgery with test tubes and various medical equipment, a library replete with books, a fully equipped kitchen from the seventies, etc. The most interesting piece is the grand piano which is worth a couple of thousand Euros, still in good condition. Owing to the spooky charm, haunted mood, and relatively intact fixtures of the villa, it later became a world-famous urbex location. Sadly, fame has taken its toll on the mansion – several objects such as formaldehyde bottles with animal remains have been stolen from the surgery.”

Exploring abandoned places is not a walk in the clouds and one should be aware of potential hazards before venturing into such locations. According to Attila, this is an extreme hobby in a way because most of the properties he visits are difficult to find and access, and there are several serious dangers. “I never go alone, because these places can be really dangerous, the structure of the roof-less buildings can collapse anytime. Most often I explore the urbex sites with my wife, and The Urbex Club has got two more members who often come with us in Europe and Asia. Once I’m there, I follow a set of unwritten rules – the ethos of the urbex community is that you don’t share the whereabouts of the site with anyone, as that would attract vandals or thieves who would strip the building of its values. You don’t move or take any objects either, or arrange the scene for a photo – you are only a spectator who captures what is there to see, to archive it because it will disappear soon and probably forever.”

There might be different approaches to urbex photography. While some focus on the location’s historical and cultural value, others are interested in capturing the aesthetic appeal of the decay. As a lover of photography and ruin enthusiast, Attila ventures into secluded and empty buildings to experience the melancholic beauty of the abandoned. “I’m trying to capture the whole building with a wide lens, but I’m also using a long lens to portray the amazing details. The color scheme of the original photos are rather nondescript – I go a bit overboard when editing them to create a more exceptional image. I really like to enhance the color settings of the images with my own style to create a cross-balanced color grading composition that would attract more attention. This way when I post these works to the blog and social media, I get more engagement (likes, comments, shares) and visibility. The more people I reach, the better, because the stories that accompany the images are incomplete – I need the online community’s input to get more details about the history of the place, which is my overall goal besides chasing good feedback and likes.”

Attila shared that the process of finding locations starts with extensive research before embarking on an expedition. “I’m spending long hours examining urbex forums, Facebook urbex groups and pages, Instagram feeds, Google satellite maps, and books to find leads for interesting locations almost every week. These are only bits of information, so I have to be observant of the background, surrounding environment, and clues that give away at least the country of the site. After I connect the dots and identify the place, finally I add it to my private urbex map on Google. Now I have thousands of locations everywhere rated on a four-star scale. Whenever I’m traveling the world, I use this as my guide and make stops along the way. Sometimes I’m refreshing the information, is it still there, or has it been demolished, or is it being reconstructed, or is the area protected, is it possible to go in, and how.”

Abandoned amusement parks and fairgrounds are somehow more desolate and lonely than abandoned houses, and more disturbing. Or is it just me?
Gracie Jay 2 years ago (edited)
Yes!! And always creepy. I think because we are used to seeing it filled with people, kids and happiness.

We have an abandoned amusement park here in New Orleans. It used to be called Jazz Land, but then it was bought by Six Flags. They started the renovation, then hurricane Katrina hit and Six Flags abandoned the project.

Abandoned Swimming Pool, Berlin
Ralph Kretschmer 2 years ago
I wonder where this is. I am from Berlin and don't know that place
Wini Wimms 2 years ago
Berlin is very careless with its swimming-areas. There are quite a few that are rotting away. This should be „Hubertusbad“ in „Lichtenberg“, if I recognize it correctly. But it was renovated a few years ago and now serves as an event hall and can no longer be "visited".

It would be so nice should it be renovated. It reminds me a little of Ghent's Art Deco swimming pool: https://visit.gent.be/nl/zien-doen/zwembad-van-eyck

Amanda 2 years ago
My first thought and reminded me of the houses behind what used to be state fair grounds for some reason. I know specific. But there was a memory from when I was small leaving there and we got stuck in traffic on that street and was scary so many people in cars on foot and then the abandon houses. Lil scary

Inside An Old Abandoned House
Angela B 2 years ago (edited)
The walking stick is remarkably clean in contrast to the surroundings. The foptprints in front of the walking stick *squints* look as if some one placed the stick there?
Jennifer Biness 2 years ago
yeah, for sure, placed there for the picture. I'm trying to decide if the blanket was, also. It's def not clean, but part of it looks cleaner than other parts

that's so sad, all the pictures and everything. Looks like some poor lonely old person died and there was nobody to take over clearing out the house

The Dark Hedges, Ireland
Mabelbabel 2 years ago (edited)
NOT abandoned! It's one of Northern Ireland's biggest tourist attractions, and the road is in use every day. Its between two little villages, Stranocum and Armoy, and a minute away from the main A44 (main trunk road).
Mabelbabel 2 years ago
And even though the photo makes it look as the road is all overgrown and blocked, it definitely isn't. You can drive down it, except its hard avoiding all the tourists who stand in the middle of the road to take photos.

Not an actual motorcycle, created from bits and pieces of things like fences, wheelbarrows, tractors, etc. Only a few things here actually came from a bike, the headlight, the mirror, maybe the fuel line.

Whoever compiled this list did a slapdash job of just copying and pasting a random bunch of buildings, most are not abandoned, some aren't even real places.

If you like this sort of thing, look up "the proper people" on YouTube. They explore closed/abandoned places. Sometimes they're trespassing, mind you, but they accept the risks and don't vandalize anything.

I want to know what would happen if I just moved into one of these places and started fixing them up. I mean... would anyone care? Or would some bureaucrat from the nearby town come and ask me for land taxes?
Donkeywheel 2 years ago
The owner would definitely care, and would evict you. Except the actual ruins, most of them are NOT abandoned, they belong to someone. They are uninhabited (and not maintained), but not abandoned, that’s different. The story is often the same: a family inherits the place after someone dies, and does not want to (or cannot) pay the huge price it would cost to restore it. Selling it for a fraction of its value is unacceptable so they keep it that way, leaving it to rot. Sad but quite logical..
