Maison Warken

A nice exploration I did last monday with 3 other explorers. This place is an abandoned farmhouse somewhere in Luxembourg, still filled with furniture and other stuff...

Leave

Taken at the Lorette convent school in Mechelen... unfortunately there was not much left of the site as it is being reconverted...A shame we came to late to visit the place in its original state...This seems to be the downside of keeping nice locations a secret..

Chateau de Noisy


This abandoned Castle left to rot away in the middle of a forest is just what any Urban Explorer could dream of...


The "Chateau de Noisy" or "Chateau de Miranda" was first used as a farming house, but a nearby feudal castle was left by it's owners during the French revolution and they turned the farm into this gigantic house/castle.
Inbetween the two World Wars, the castle was renamed "Home de Noisy" and was used as a holiday camp for the children of the "SNCB" railway workers. You can still find some papers inside the castle that state of some of the activities of these camps.
In 1991 the "Chateau de Noisy" was abandoned, most likely because of a fire that destroyed some parts of the castle. Since then it is slowly falling appart.
The place is in pretty bad shape, with collapsed floors all around, which makes exploring quite dangerous. This might be the reason why the location is being guarded by rangers who use the courtyard as some sort of basecamp.

If you want to see some more pictures of the place visit my website

Urban Exploration in Luxembourg

Hi there... after my webblog was down for some time now I'try to start posting more regularly on here...
In the past months I've been out shooting abandoned buildings in and around Luxembourg.

If you wish to see more of my stuff you can take a look at my website spako.lu .

Here's a shot I took in an abandoned industrial building in Luxembourg...
