30 Places Which Used To Be Full Of Life, Yet Are No Less Amazing After Being Abandoned, As Shared By This X Page
You know what - I recently rewatched the first season of The Last of Us series and thought that humanity experiences a rather weird, not always understandable pleasure from contemplating spectacular scenes of desolation. That is, the places where people once lived where life was in full swing - and now only ivy covers the remains of old brick walls, and only the wind howls in the ruins at night...
Forgive me for being too poetic, but, damn it, how popular the theme of the abandoned remnants of civilization is! Suffice it to recall the old TV series Life After People, where over the course of twenty episodes, all that happens is the gradual destruction of outstanding (and not so) monuments of human activity. In general, it is not surprising that there are many popular resources on the internet that collect photographs of abandoned places - such as this page on X, a selection of the best postings of which we’ll present to you today.

Recently, some attempts have been made to restore the building, but for now it is still in ruins.

Apparently there have been some revitalization efforts and it is now in use as a retreat, "offering visitors a unique blend of old-world elegance and contemporary comfort." https://beyondvisit.com/abandoned/exploring-the-enchanting-history-of-dunalastair-castle-in-scotland/

Possibly the owners let it go because of taxes. Those old chateaux are money pits to keep up.

A Mental Health Hospital In Scotland
Jan Wilhelm 2 years ago
This is Lennox Castle Hospital in Scotland. It closed in 2002. A really sad place... "In more recent years, comparisons have been drawn between Lennox and cult TV series, American Horror Story: Asylum, thanks to the allegations of abuse, neglect and terrible conditions. Those who attempted to run away would be caught and locked up in isolation for up to six weeks, drugged with heavy doses of medication, and refused contact with visitors." https://www.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/the-sad-secrets-of-glasgows-abandoned-mental-hospital-1439724

not anymore, https://www.mothe-chandeniers.com/ (in french ) fast traduction : "On October 6, 2017, the start-up Dartagnans launches a crazy idea: collectively buy the castle of the Mothe Chandeniers. The goal? To save and offer the world a new unique model of heritage preservation. In just a few months, the collective purchase campaign went around the world and the castle seduced women and men from 115 countries, of all ages and cultures. Today, they are the guardians of this castle with absolute romanticism."
