The ruins of Château de Domfront - which are situated in a park nowadays.
The fortification began as a fort built of wood built on this hill - which has quite a stunning view over the surrounding area - in the 11th century. It belonged to William the Conqueror and his family, and as such went to several later English kings. King John (Lackland) lost Normandy to the French, but this castle was his personal property - it was given to Philip I, Count of Boulogne, and then left to his daughter Jeanne, but she died without issue and the castle went to the French crown. The place saw continuous fighting throughout the Middle Ages (including being besieged during the Hundred Years' War by the English). The castle was ordered to be demolished in 1608 by Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully.
The place has been labelled as a "Monument historique" since 1875.
Dormition Cathedral in Kolomna. Three-domed Assumption Cathedral was founded in 1379 by Grand Prince Dmitry Donskoy after the first victory of Russian troops over the Golden Horde in the Battle of the River Vozha. Construction of the cathedral lasted one year, presumably in his paintings participated Pheophan Grek. Cathedral stood until 1672, when it was demolished due to dilapidation. On the place of the demolished church for 10 years was built new, preserved to this day (architect Meletios Alekseev).
The New Brighton Pier was officially opened on 1 November 1997, on the site of the original New Brighton Pier which had been demolished more than 30 years previously. It is the biggest ocean pier in Australasia at 300m long.
The fortifications of the town were built after the Mongol Invasion. It had four gates, which opened to the south, west, north and northeast. The plain of the town slightly slopes north, so the southern gate, which was located on the highest point, was called Upper Gate, while the northeastern gate, which was located on the lowest point, was called Lower Gate. The walls were defended by wide moats.
The trade road coming from the central regions of Hungary left the town towards Poland through the Lower Gate. From the town gate a little wooden bridge led to a half-round barbican, which still stands, surrounded by moats. From the barbican a drawbridge led across the moat. After the fortifications of the town lost their significance, the wooden bridges over the moats were demolished and a new stone bridge was raised with two 5-metres wide arches in 1821. A similar stone bridge was built to connect the barbican with the town but it had only one arch.
Basel Cathedral was built in the late Romanesque style and was partially demolished during the Basel earthquake of 1356, but was later rebuilt in the Gothic style.
The building, rebuilt at the end of the 14th century after the earthquake, is characterised by its two sandstone façade towers: the 64.2 m high north tower or Georgsturm (St. George's Tower) and the 62.7 m high south tower or Martinsturm (St. Martin's Tower).
Originally a Catholic church, it is now a reformed church since the Protestant Reformation that took place in Basel in 1529.1 Among others, Erasmus of Rotterdam2 and Jakob Bernoulli are buried inside.
This barn was a very recognizable landmark along busy SR 19 where it intersects with CR 36. It appeared to be in good shape but suddenly was demolished around 2007. The design of the painted arches on the doors was the most common way barns looked for many years here in Indiana.

This view didn't exist the year before when I used to drive by here going downriver. Then they demolished something and this amazing ghost sign appeared. After about a year, it had faded very noticeably. A great example of capturing a slice of time, at the right time. The ghost sign was so bright, it looked like it was covered up soon after it went up. It was NOT a reproduction.
soon these building will be demolished for redevelopment.

I spotted this derelict building and thought it would be a great grungy photo backdrop. But I didn’t get in quick enough and it’s fully fenced and mostly demolished now. Photo for posterity.
Another negative that has been rescanned and reprocessed to produce an improved result. The original image, uploaded seven years ago, has been deleted.
The shot was taken at Hartlepool while on a week-long Eastern Region Railrover ticket, and features class 37 unit 37160 hauling a rake of COVHOPS, possibly carrying lime destined for the nearby Steetley Works from Thrislington or Coxhoe Quarry.
Above the loco can be seen the floodlights of the Victoria Ground, home of Hartlepool United FC and, to the left of that, is the dog track - now demolished and replaced by a Morrisons food store. The signal box is just visible through the girders of the barn-like structure on the right.
In the brake van the Guard has his coat hung up, and he's no doubt thinking about the imminent arrival and any tasks he needs to perform before signing off.
The station and surroundings were looking pretty uncared for by this time, hardly unusual for the period. Even so, I suspect there would still be a queue to go back and take a few more snaps, should the opportunity ever come up!

Also called the Bridge of Lies is one of the first cast iron bridge to be built in Europe and the third cast iron bridge built on the territory of today's Romania and Transylvania, the first being built in 1841.
The bridge is the oldest cast iron bridge in service on the territory of Romania.
Considered to be a forged iron gem, The Bridge of Lies is one of the most important symbols of the city.
Rebuilt in 1859 (made in the Friedrich Hütte workshops) in the former location of a gate bridge belonging to the 2nd fortification wall. The initially vaulted passage used to be made through an conglomerate of buildings which had been demolished in 1851: the Town’s Scale, the selling market places belonging to the Cobblers, Shoemakers, Tailor’s, Baker’s guilds, the Milks’ Bridge, the house belonging to Baron Rosenfeld where it used to be the Law Academy, the Jikeli house with the chemist’s, the barber’s shop. In the same period the staircases on the western side of Ocnei Street were demolished.
A favorite strolling place for young couples, the bridge stands out due to its resistance pieces decorated with rosettes and a belt of elements placed in circles with decreasing sizes and adorned with vegetal and neo-gothic geometric motifs.
These bear on the southern side the coat of arms of Sibiu and on the northern side the inscriptions “1859” and “Friedrich Hütte”. The four pedestals at the extremity of the bridge, more robust and made in stone, sustain lighting devices made in cast iron. The metallic rail of the bridge consists of eight panels with circles in a gothic radial décor.
After the siege of Amiens in 1597, king Henry IV of France ordered to design new fortifications for the city. He entrusted this new task to Jean Errard (1554-1610). Henry IV had 200 houses and a church demolished and parts of the older ramparts of Philip II of France (1165–1223) dismantled to make way for Errard's fortress.
Construction of the citadel went from 1598 to 1622.
The gate you can see there was constructed from 1615 to 1620. It's called royal door and was until 1859 the south entrance to the citadel.
After the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 the Franco-Spanish War ended and the citadel was no longer of use. In 1788 the destruction of the citadel was authorised.
But the citadel was still used in the Battle of Amiens (1870).
From 1871 to 1914 and from 1918 to 1939, and after WWII until 1979 the citadel became a French garrison again.
The citadel was the last place of resistance in WWII when the Germans entered Amiens on May 20, 1940. During the occupation, the citadel was a place of detention, torture and execution of resistance fighters arrested by the Germans. 35 resistance fighters were shot in the ditches of the citadel between November 12, 1940 and August 1944. Jews from the Somme department were also detained at the citadel before being transferred to Drancy.
Bought from the army in 1999 by the city of Amiens, the long walls of the Citadel have been restored since the year 2000.
Rochor Centre was a public housing in Singapore that was built in 1977. It was originally home to 183 shops and 567 households. However, at the end of 2016, it will be demolished to make way for the construction of an expressway.

Patterns at the ceiling of Miranda Castle in Belgium, also known als Château de Noisy or Château Miranda.
Unfortunately the castle has been completely demolished in 2017, but before that it was a filming location for the TV series Hannibal, where it was shown as Castle Lecter, the childhood home of Hannibal Lecter.
Who's been eating our parsley? OK, I'll put my hand up, it was me!
Not sure what this tiny little insect is, however it is only a couple of mm in length and really enjoying our parsley.
The scene is dominated by the derelict Five Ways Tower. This notorious monstrosity has been abandoned for 18 years (due to "sick building" syndrome apparently) and is a seriously ugly blot on Brum's skyline - it needs demolishing!
Over to the left of the image is the Joseph Chamberlain Memorial Clock Tower (sometimes known as Old Joe), situated on the campus of the University of Birmingham. Old Joe is the tallest free standing clock tower in the world, and stands about 100m tall. It was built between 1900 and 1908, is Grade II listed, and is one of the most recognisable features of the Birmingham skyline.
On mournful dreary grey and cold afternoon shortly before Conrail would absorb the Penn Central; E40 4973 is framed by the Lehigh Valley Bridge as it heads towards the Meadows cab-light after dropping its train at the far end of Waverly Yard.
The WA5 block station ,which can seen in the background. was once an interesting and busy junction point for PC freight moving through the NJ terminal area and the NEC .
The coming Conrail years would not be kind to WA5 or 4973 . By 1979 she will have dropped her pan for the final time.
WA5 was demolished in the mid 80's due to changes in traffic which routed freight over the Lehigh Line rather than the ex-PRR NEC and freight branches .

Photos during a walk from Severn Tunnel Junction station to Chepstow on 30 April 2024.
This is the newest (1996) crossing of the Severn Estuary linking Wales with England, on the far bank.
The first crossing was completed in 1879, a rail bridge between Lydney and Sharpness (both in Gloucestershire, England), but this was demolished in 1967 after severe damage in 1960.
The second crossing was the Severn Tunnel of 1886, whilst the third was the road suspension of 1966.
The bridge shown was named the Prince of Wales Bridge in 2018, a calculated insult to those in Wales who object to rule by the English. The so-called Prince of Wales is English!
In 1892, a cholera epidemic devastated the docklands population, convincing the city of Hamburg to demolish the warren of overcrowded, unhygienic alleyways and start again. First came the Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse district in the world built between 1885 and 1927. Then came the Kontorhaus district. Both are part of the World Heritage site designated in 2015.
The Sprinkenhof is an architectural masterpiece and one of the great examples of Brick Expressionism, with lovely details like the intricate, late-art deco interior staircase and one of the few remaining paternoster elevators. Designed by architects Fritz Höger and the Jewish brothers Hans and Askar Gerson in 1927, the Sprinkenhof took 16 years to build in three phases. Construction was delayed by economic crises and political upheaval, the death of Hans Gerson in 1931, his brother’s persecution and eventual exile in 1938. The building was finally inaugurated in May 1943. Two months later, Allied firebombs gutted parts of it, causing damage that took years to repair.
