I Travel To Forgotten Places Around The World, Here Are 34 Pictures I’ve Taken
I'm a French artist, and my name is Dimitri "Jahz Design." I graduated as a graphic designer. I have always been interested in history and architectural remains. It was in 2013 when I developed my interest in the photography of heritage in disuse. My first exploration was an ancient cemetery of military ships.
I travel the globe looking for places in decline. Today, I want to share with you the most beautiful abandoned places around the world.
Also, check out my posts about the most beautiful abandoned castles, Georgian Soviet-era spas, European abandoned theaters, and lastly my most beautiful abandoned places around the world.

Did the Soviets build the better space shuttle..? Yes they did! Don´t let the superficial resemblance fool you, given the same engineering problem with the technology at hand most designs will look similar. But the Buran was a next step in shuttles. It is interesting to speculate that if the Soviet union had not collapsed therefore pulling the rug from under the Buran´s feet, the Russians would have had an advanced spacecraft with capabilities way ahead of the American version of the shuttle. Sadly in the end the shuttle concept has proven to be a dead end. The betamax of spaceships.

The detail in the dome looks as though there are tiny doorways all around it...such a beautiful haunting place with many stories to tell I'm sure!

It reminds me of the scene near the end of *Close Encounters of the Third Kind* where when Truffaut gets on the ship

It’s so beautiful—I love that it looks like it’s made from metal rusted to varying degrees rather than the more prosaic rust-covered concrete.
In my journey to capture the beauty of abandoned structures, I've encountered many intriguing sites with rich histories. This echoes the fate of relics from the past, similar to how a former stock market building in Antwerp served as a commercial center and later fell into disuse.
Exploring the intricate architecture of forgotten landmarks offers a profound window into history and artistry.

These are hauntingly beautiful, I love how you can almost feel the laughter, cries, screams, and stories told within these buildings. The mysteries hidden, if only we could reach into history and grab the tales these buildings have to tell us! The many questions whispered in the walls, why were they abandoned? Did the family who used to own it loose everything suddenly? Had they all died, of war or disease? The chipped paint, growing mold, and intricate furniture that's left to gain dust only adds to the frightening beauty. My mystery-filled soul loves this. :) I do hope they get renovated and restored to their former glory however, there really is no use for keeping such grand buildings empty. Thank you for taking such beautiful pictures!

This was brilliant! All the activities in these buildings no longer exist. It makes me wonder why they are abandoned. Its a shame to see them rotting away to dust when there are people out there on the streets..... that would appreciate something like these. I hope they eventually get renovated and put to good use.

You can buy a castle in France for less than 100000 euros (like the one on the link build in the 15th century), the issue is not the price of the building, but the cost of the work that these buildings needs. Structural issues, lead pipes, rotten wooden floors, rotten walls, rotten wooden frame, rotten external joinery... These buildings needs total structural renovation that cost millions. https://www.chateauxpourtous.fr/p-11-acheter-achat-vente-chateau-medieval-en-ruine-a-vendre-poitou-charente-acheter-achat-vente-chateau-pas-cher-a-vendre-deux-sevres-argenton-les-vallees-79300.php
