This magnificent building built in 1925 was the residence of a couple with a particular history. An injured World War I soldier was hospitalized in England and reportedly met his future wife, the widow of a wealthy governor. After marrying in Brussels, they built this castle in a Belgian village, with architecture inspired by many trips made by the aristocratic wife. The building has many rich architectural characteristics, with oriental, Art Deco and chinese inspirations. Some receptions were organized for the village inhabitants, and the owner was a time elected alderman of the community.
Both died in 1940, and the castle was bought in 1988 by a wealthy entrepreneur and his wife. As the building was too big for the two of them, they saw the opportunity to turn the space into a luxury hotel, then into a bed and breakfast, before being abandoned, presumably after the couple's death.
Today, this superb place is abandoned and at the mercy of squatters and vandals of the region. One part of the building was recently the target of a fire, in March 2017. Today, the site could be transformed into a nursing home and/or apartment buildings. These photos were taken before the fire.

Cette magnifique bâtisse construite en 1925 était la résidence d’un couple à l’histoire particulière. Un combattant blessé de la Première Guerre Mondiale fut hospitalisé en Angleterre et y aurait rencontré sa future épouse, veuve d’un riche gouverneur. Après s’être mariés à Bruxelles, ils firent construire ce château dans un village de Belgique, avec une architecture inspirée de nombreux voyages effectués par l’épouse aristocrate. Le bâtiment présente en effet de nombreuses et riches caractéristiques architecturales, orientales, Art Déco, ou encore chinoises. Le lieu servit notamment de réception pour des fêtes de village, de même que son propriétaire fut un temps élu échevin de la communauté.

Décédés tous deux en 1940, le château fut racheté en 1988 par un riche entrepreneur et son épouse. Le bâtiment étant trop grand pour eux deux, ils y virent l’opportunité de transformer l’espace libre en hôtel de luxe, puis en Bed & Breakfast, avant d’être laissé à l’abandon, vraisemblablement après le décès du couple.
Aujourd’hui, ce superbe lieu est délaissé et à la merci de squatteurs et vandales de la région. Une partie a récemment été la cible d’un incendie, en mars 2017. On parle actuellement de transformer le site en maison de repos et/ou cité d’appartements. Les présentes photos datent d’avant l’incendie.

A passerby asked if I was going to send the photo to the council ... I replied nope, as no point really, they don't have the money to fix things like this, and yet our council tax has gone way up :(
The remains of a village abandoned thirty years ago to allow the conscruction of a reservoir in Cyprus.
Probably disliked by most passers by, the Scottish Provident Building has been lauded by architecture critics and dates from 1961, the architect being William G. Leslie of Rowand Anderson Kininmonth & Paul. For such a striking structure it fits in remarkably well to the Georgian St. Andrew Square - more so than any of the uninspired plague of glass boxes with sandstone cladding that have sprung up all over Edinburgh in recent years would.
Vacant since Abbey National moved out in 2004, the B-listed building survived a demolition threat but a refurbishment has fallen foul of the economic downturn and it is sadly and slowly rotting away. In a rather futile attempt to tart it up, some blue plastic featuring some lines from Robert Louis Stevenson has been put in the windows. Personally I think it just emphasises the decay of the surrounding structure.
The body of this truck is showing traces of mold. I found this abandoned Studebaker truck in rural Yamhill,Or. ....Not many of this make are stiil around.
Took the bike out for a run around the Dalmeny Estate. Mostly had the luck to be going with the wind when the snow was falling - though the photos of the snow don't really look as good as it did in reality. So here's a bit of rural decay... A huge wreck of a truck dumped about 100m or so from Dalmeny House. Looks like its been there some decades...
Aszód. Baroque and Zopf style. Architect: G. B. Carlone,1730s.
János Podmaniczky had a great role in the history of Aszód. He was a Lutheran noble man from Upper Hungary (today: Slovakia) and got hold this territory with marriage. He made Aszod the centre of his estates. Thanks to his modern methods of farming both his family and the town started developing rapidly. The tolerant landowner set up a castle for themselves and a church for the Lutherans. He founded a primary and secondary school. He had good cooperation with the local Roman Catholics and Jewish merchants.
A barokk és copf stílusban épült kastély középső szárnya az 1730-as években készült el, valószínűleg G. B. Carlone tervei alapján. Oldalszárnyait Jung József építette 1767-1773 között. A díszterem mennyezetfreskója 1776-ban készült, Kracker János és Zach József alkotása.
Evangélikus Élet: "A 18. század elején Podmaniczky János és felesége, Osztroluczky Judit virágoztatta fel a családot. Képmásukat jól ismerhetjük Mányoki Ádám festményeirõl. Õk építtették az aszódi kastélyt, az aszódi evangélikus templomot.
Külön történet, hogy Aszód benépesítése, polgári fejlõdése érdekében milyen hatalmas munkát végeztek a Podmaniczkyak. Fiaik, Podmaniczky János és Sándor a kastély két szárnyát lakták, s megalapítói lettek a család úgynevezett idõsebb és fiatalabb ágának, illetve egyben egy-egy könyvtárnak is.
A család elszegényedése után a 19. század második felében el kellett adniuk az õsi fészket, de a tehetõsebb vagy jól házasodó Podmaniczkyak más Podmaniczky-birtokon új kastélyokat építtettek."
An old decaying building in Reagan, Texas. It kind of looks like it might have been apartments at one time. The folks who have lived in Reagan all their lives tell us that Reagan was once a big, bustling town. Nowadays, it's just a blip on the highway. There are a few houses and 3 churches remaining there, as well as a bar and grill, auction house, pneumatic tool company, and post office, but now they are threatening to take even the post office away. Little by little, what was once a good sized town is falling into decay.
