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.

Die Zeche Consolidation, meist kurz Zeche Consol genannt, war der wirtschaftliche Motor der Stadt Gelsenkirchen. Bereits in den 1870er Jahren zählte die Zeche Consolidation zu den förderstärksten im Ruhrgebiet. In kurzer Folge wurde ein Schacht nach dem anderen abgeteuft. In 130 Jahren wurden über drei Millionen Tonnen Kohle gefördert.
Schacht 9 wurde 1915 begonnen, die Förderung begann aufgrund des Ersten Weltkriegs jedoch erst nach 1918. 1922 wurde das Fördergerüst als zweigeschossiges Doppelstrebegerüst noch in Fachwerkbauweise erbaut. Da sich zeitgleich die Vollwandbauweise durchsetzte war es das letzte seiner Art und ist heute eines der wenigen noch existierenden. Zeitgleich wurde das südliche Maschinenhaus vom Zechenbaumeister Heinrich von Bonin (1871-1927) erbaut. Die Besonderheit im Maschinenhaus ist die Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine von 1963, die letzte Dampfmaschine, die von der Gutenhoffnungshütte (GHH) in Oberhausen gefertigt wurde. Das nördliche Maschinenhaus wurde 1937 als kubisch gestalteter Ziegelbau von Dr. Ing. Hans Väth (1897–1950) erbaut. 1938 wurde dort eine Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine aus der Gutenhoffnungshütte installiert.
Auf der Zeche Consol wurden nach ihrer Stillegung und Renovierung vier Kulturprojekte gestartet. Eines ist die Kunstinstallation im nördlichen Maschinenhaus von Werner Thiel (1927-2003). Die anderen sind das Consol Theater, das Musikprobenzentrum Consol 4 sowie das südliche Maschinenhaus mit der Bergbausammlung des IBC.
Die Bergbausammlung des IBC besitzt als zentrales Ausstellungsstück die Zwillings-Dampffördermaschine. Sie hat eine Leistung von 4.100 PS und ein Gewicht von 285 Tonnen. Die Fördermaschine hob Nutzlasten von circa 12t mit 18m/s (65km/h) aus dem über 1.000 Meter tiefen Schacht. Jeden ersten Sonntag im Monat wird sie live vorgeführt.
The Conso colliery, usually called consol, was the economic engine of the city of Gelsenkirchen. As early as the 1870s, the Consolidation colliery was one of the strongest in the Ruhr area. In a short sequence, one shaft after another was demolished. Over three million tonnes of coal have been mined in 130 years.
Shaft 9 was started in 1915, but due to the First World War, production did not begin until after 1918. In 1922, the conveyor structure was still built in half-timbered construction as a two-storey double strut. Since the full-wall construction was prevailing at the same time, it was the last of its kind and is today one of the few still existing. At the same time, the southern machine house was built by the colliery builder Heinrich von Bonin (1871-1927). The special feature of the machine house is the twin steam conveyor from 1963, the last steam engine manufactured by the Gutenhoffnungshütte (GHH) in Oberhausen. The northern machine house was built in 1937 as a cubic brick building by Dr. Ing. Hans Väth (1897-1950). In 1938, a twin steam conveyor from the Gutenhoffnungshütte was installed there.
Four cultural projects were launched at the Consol colliery after its closure and renovation. One is the art installation in Werner Thiel's northern machine house (1927-2003). The others are the Consol Theater, the Music Rehearsal Centre Consol 4 and the Southern Machine House with the Mining Collection of the IBC.
The IBC mining collection has the twin steam conveyor as a central exhibit. It has an output of 4,100 hp and a weight of 285 tons. The conveyor lifted payloads of about 12t at 18m/s (65km/h) from the shaft, which is over 1,000 metres deep. Every first Sunday of the month it is performed live.
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.
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.
The motorway crossing Regensburg will be widened from 4 to 6 lanes during the next years. This is why several bridges have to be demolished. For that, the Autobahn gets blocked from Saturday night to Sunday noon. This image was made early on Sunday morning. Eight dredges have already destroyed the bridge.
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.
Ontario Place Pods, Toronto, were designed by Eb Zeidler. They were originally used for exhibitions at this public park/attraction. Now much of Ontario Place needs renovation. The city and citizen groups have been arguing what to do about it -- some want to demolish it and others want to renovate it because of its cultural heritage. Grunge texture added.

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.

I've been waiting years to touch this one up. The sign has been gone for a decade, and I believe the building has been demolished as well.
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.
Baylor University in Waco, Texas is demolishing this great stadium. That is a shame. A lot of benches being destroyed here. Happy Bench Monday.
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.
Former Fort Ord building, Monterey County, Ca.
Took a little trip to the former Fort Ord today. This place is immense, and at its peak had as many as 50,000 soldiers stationed there. Though many buildings have been demolished, there are still hundreds of buildings and structures left, with most being allowed to rot. Since the base was closed in 1994, much of the land has been repurposed. The biggest change is probably the establishment of the California State University Monterey Bay.
To see all of the decaying facilities is to get just a bit of a hint of the immense amount of blood and treasure our country has wasted in pursuits of warfare. It should be visited by more people. (No trespassing signs everywhere make it difficult.) And, as immense as this place is, it is only a microcosm of all the waste involved in human bellicosity.

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!
I have been watching this site quickly be demolished. In recent years it was a known to locals as Hosanna Heights which saw parts of the site utilized as international student accommodation. (approx. 1990 - 2015)
"The land was originally purchased by the Catholic Church Endowment Society in 1940. The site was shortly after developed with the Catholic seminary complex with the
first building being completed in 1942 and used to prepare students for priesthood in the Archdiocese of Adelaide and the Diocese of Port Pirie." - Campbelltown City Council - Agenda - Development Assessment Panel.
