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 (part 1 and part 2).

I don't understand why people abandon such beautiful places!
Obsolescence. Changing tastes. Sad that things end, but in ending they make way for something new. Imagine if architecture had not changed a whit in the past century.
And money. Too inefficient to heat, too expensive to renovate.
i guess, everything has an end; nice buildings too...
Population decline. See Detroit. It's often much cheaper to build new crap than to renovate old beauty.
Those are just so beautifull...
When I see places like this that are abandoned, I feel sad that they’ve been allowed to grow sad and lonely, then just die. I always try to picture them when they were happy, full of people, and full of life. Ever pass by an old house that looks like it was really nice once, but is now just sad and falling apart? I try to picture it back when it was alive, decades ago, with a family that had children, and a dog and cat, living there. Flowers and shade trees—-maybe one with a swing and a big one with a treehouse—-in the clean cut yard, picket fence, barbecue on the patio, fresh paint on every wall and ceiling, pictures, comfy furniture, something yummy-smelling cooking in the kitchen...you get my drift. Instead of building so many crappy cheap new houses, why not refurbish old ones? Same with buildings. All the abandoned structures in this article could be repurposed for less than replacing them. And it would bring them back to life again. Wish I had the resources. I’d fund it.
