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.

Castle, France
Villa, Portugal
Soviet Space Shuttles, Kazakhstan
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.
Castle, France
I cant understand why possessions are left behind. Even the bed has the same pattern as the wallpaper
Sanatorium, Georgia
Sanatorium, Georgia
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!
Castle, France
Tell me the exact location. I will go and pick that furniture up. worth some money.
Buzludzha, Bulgaria
It reminds me of the scene near the end of *Close Encounters of the Third Kind* where when Truffaut gets on the ship
Abandoned Epilogue Morgue, Belgium
Castle, France
Orphanage, France
Race Circuit, France
Factory, Belgium
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.
Teatro, Italy
It looks like it has every type of moss in the world growing in there.
Theater, France
That looks Social Distance Friendly. Wonder how many of these spots will get a new life in new times?
Amazing photos and places. Thank you for sharing
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
That actually happened. Look up the FL Wonder House. Interesting story. It was abandoned for over 60 years, and then some people bought it, renovated it, and live in it. Heres the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderhouse
