Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers, France. NOT abandoned anymore :
In December 2017, a French startup organized a crowdfunding campaign site, and 27,190 people having to pay at least €50 each joined the cause, raising €1,600,000, to purchase the castle with the aim of preserving it. chateau-64...34ea51.jpg

I understand wanting to preserve, but if this stuff wasnt salvaged thats a crime.

Gunkanjima, also known as Battleship Island, was once a thriving industrial site, housing over 5,000 workers in its heyday. The island was completely self-sufficient, with its own schools, hospitals, and even a swimming pool. However, as the demand for coal decreased and the island's resources were depleted, the mine was eventually closed in 1974, and the island was abandoned. Since then, Gunkanjima has remained largely unchanged, and the abandoned buildings and structures on the island have become a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can take guided tours of the island and explore the abandoned buildings, which have been left to decay and have been overtaken by vegetation.Despite its eerie atmosphere, Gunkanjima is an important part of Japan's history and stands as a testament to the country's rapid industrialization in the 20th century.

You might remember it from a scene of the James Bond movie Skyfall. Where he has to shoot a shot glass from a ladies head.

It's an art installation: La maison dans la Loire is the brainchild of French artist Jean-Luc Courcoult, who created it as part of the 2007 Estuaire Art Exhibition, which invited a number of international artists to create large-scale works inspired by the Loire and its nearby estuary.

Good demonstration of how, in a million years, there will be no signs that humans were ever here besides some errant pieces of plastic here and there.

Michelangelo Antonioni's dome, designed by Dante Bini, one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century, is a building with a unique past and priceless value, which resists the passing of the years and still bears witness to the troubled love story between Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti.

Not so sure that this is abandoned. Seems kind of typical for some Shinto shrines out in the middle of the forest or mountains.

It would be nice to have more information about these pics, like what they were, where they are, and why they were abandoned.

You’re right, I think the urban explorers and photographers who hunt down these abandoned places purposely don’t give out their locations, maybe because they’re often trespassing but maybe also that they don’t want others to find them, someone else here may be able to give a better reason

Whenever I walk to Suffern, along the Erie track, I go by a poor old farmhouse, with its shingles broken and black. I suppose I’ve passed it a hundred times, but I always stop for a minute, and look at the house, the tragic house, the house with nobody in it. I never have seen a haunted house, but I hear there are such things; that they hold the talk of spirits, their mirth and sorrowings. I know this house isn’t haunted, and I wish it were, I do; for it wouldn’t be so lonely if it had a ghost or two. This house on the road to Suffern needs a dozen panes of glass, and somebody ought to weed the walk and take a scythe to the grass. It needs new paint and shingles, and the vines should be trimmed and tied; but what it needs the most of all is some people living inside.

If I had a lot of money and all my debts were paid, I'd put a gang of men to work with brush and saw and spade. I'd buy that place and fix it up the way it used to be, and I’d find some people who wanted a home and give it to them free. Now, a new house standing empty, with staring window and door, looks idle, perhaps, and foolish, like a hat on its block in the store. But there’s nothing mournful about it; it cannot be sad and lone for the lack of something within it that it has never known. But a house that has done what a house should do, a house that has sheltered life, that has put its loving wooden arms around a man and his wife, a house that has echoed a baby’s laugh and held up his stumbling feet, is the saddest sight, when it’s left alone, that ever your eyes could meet.
