Hey, it's not abandoned, it's for sale! Gofundme for BPs first official holiday retreat? https://www.chateau.cz/en/zamek-horin-prodej/

It's in Staryi Solotvyn, Ukraine. And this webpage on the village has other buildings that look just as intriguing: https://travels.in.ua/en-US/locality/18417/staryi-solotvyn-village

Abandoned theme part in Nagasaki, Japan. Here's video: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=823833848353261

Another one purportedly for sale. From the witcher reddit: "Finlay44: For those interested in the backstory: The Zobeltitz Manor, located in Glinka, Poland. Built in the late 18th century as a home for a noble family. Renovated in the early 20th century. Unfortunately, the owners fled during that little scuffle those wacky Nazis started in the 1930s, and didn't feel like coming back once the Reds took over. The mansion and its grounds became state property and, since no one in government had any interest in the place, fell into disrepair. It's actually for sale. If you're interested, contact the Agricultural Property Agency in Warsaw."

I've been there a few times if you're in Colorado it's about a 3-hour drive from Grand Junction.

The interior is even more amazing: https://www.homeinitaly.com/magazine/post.php?post_id=176

Interesting: "Scola Tower, also called the Tower of San Giovanni Battista, is a military structure located in the Gulf of La Spezia (The Gulf of Poets) in Liguria, Italy. The tower sits north of the island of Palmaria in Porto Venere." https://hardcoreitalians.blog/2022/05/23/hidden-gems-in-italy-scola-tower/

This one's even spookier than it looks: from Abandoned Beauties on Facebook, May 6, 2022: "Lennox hospital, Glasgow. Lennox Castle was built in the 1830s and later converted into what would become an infamous psychiatric hospital. The hospital had 1200 beds and has been compared to American Horror Story: Asylum, due to the allegations of abuse, neglect and horrific conditions. Lennox Castle Hospital finally closed in 2002 leaving the institution’s sad history to be forgotten. In 2008 a fire destroyed most of the building, leaving it as you see today."

Lucky the locals are obviously law abiding. So many treasures in that cabinet.

Straight out of a fairytale!

It's in Indiana, in the US, part of the estate that Coca Cola built: "This two story pool was part of a house that used to belong to William Root who made the Coca-Cola bottles for Coke... “Rocky Edge,” the estate is south of Terre Haute, Indiana. It has been purchased for renovation. photo by @chicago_jenn" https://www.reddit.com/r/AbandonedSpace/comments/zyuorj/this_two_story_pool_was_part_of_a_house_that_used/

That looks like it dates back to Japanese occupation in WWII. They logged huge amounts of the virgin forest for war materials- using slaves labor .

This is Caerlaverock Castle, in Scotland (Castle Road End, Dumfries, DG1 4RU). If you visit in July, 2024, don't miss the two days of jousting.

What a loss 😔

Ohhhh let me live in it!

Why are so many of these in Italy, was there A big event causing these to be abandoned

So many beautiful abandoned places in Italy. Wish they were preserved and open to the public for viewing as a tour of ancient Italian architecture. I would spend all my money for such a tour!

Because this one doesn't look like a haunted mansion at all. 👻😧

I was just there in October - this isn't a villa, this is part of a mill complex smack in the middle of Sorrento, Italy. Walk down main street, and there's a bridge, not over a train line, but over this cleft in the earth. Very surreal. It's a flour mill from the 13th century and a saw mill. When they built that central square in Sorrento, the Piazza Tasso, this very low lying area was cut off and then abandoned. But super weird to be strolling down the busy tourist-filled street from the main square, look over a railing, and this is down below you. The photo is taken looking over the railing from the busy main street.

Beautiful!

I think this one is Forte Richermo, in Pieve di Teco, Liguria, Italy. They're bunker forts in the Italian Alps, and there's definitely more than one in this style. Some you can enter and tour (the gap between the walkway and door is covered for access by a drawbridge in the doorway).

The ones in front look like Antonov AN-2s so this must be former Soviet territory. Can't make out the insignia on the side though. Those look like Mig-15s behind them and after that, I'm not sure. I can't make them out.

I sometimes (more often than not) think these photos are staged. This photo implies that the diner abruptly closed in the middle of a lunch or dinner rush. But...the table settings are too perfect, especially on the bar/counter.

The picture frame is so pretty..

I'm going to live in a castle, pretty special, not many other pe.... oh.

So pretty.

In 1,000 years, will someone discover these and puzzle over them like the Moai on Easter Island?

Wonder if a few zeros could be knocked off that price...
