From your local abandoned manufacturing plant to Chornobyl, certain locations are mesmerizing precisely because time and decay have set in. Eerie, fascinating, spooky or beautiful, man-made things that have been left untouched for years have a certain appeal to them.

This beautiful castle somewhere in Italy is abandoned for several years. There are many ghost stories were the local people are talking about but the previous owner lived here happily until he died of old age. This dining room was my favorite room of this amazing castle

This could have happened in China, but it happened in Turkey. More than five hundred nearly-indentical castles appear to be copied and pasted into this Turkish hillside but not a soul lives there. Developers meant for these uniform villas to be luxury vacation homes for healthy tourists when they began construction in 2014. However, when the company went bankrupt in 2018, investitors pulled out of the deal which put constuction on hold.

Abandoned presidents busts that stand 20+ feet tall. These president heads started as an attraction called Presidents Park in Williamsburg, Virginia. The park was an open-air museum where people strolled among the heads, gazing at the enormous size of them. But a lack of visitors caused the park to close just six years after opening in 2004. Instead of allowing the busts to be demolished, Howard Hankins, who helped construct the park, claimed all 42 heads and lugged them back to his private family farm for safekeeping until someone could think of what to do with them. With each bust weighing 22,000 pounds, it took nearly a week to move them all just a few miles to the large field where they now sit, and some of the heads sustained minor damage to the backs of their heads and noses. You’ll find every president here today (excluding Obama, Trump, and Biden) on his farm rotting away exposed to the elements of nature

At one time this old Victorian mansion from the 1880s was a local family’s pride and joy. Their Buick Centurion 455 convertible still sits out front and a pair of matching Impalas nearby in the yard. Sadly, the mansion and cars are now covered in graffiti and completely trashed. When explorers don’t share locations, this is one reason why. It’s too hard for people to appreciate the beauty and history of a place without destroying it

An abandoned house in America from the 1960’s with everything left behind. I wish I could find out more history about this one,the artist told me he found it rotting away on the side of a road in the New England area. This house looks almost like a time capsule from the 60’s with all the pictures, and furniture left behind. You can see in the images above that the family left behind medicine, beds, pictures, suitcases, and even an old school TV

A trip to a past time. This old villa felt like something out of a fairytale when we stepped into this room. It was completely dark inside at first, but when we illuminated it with our phone light, I realized what we had found. We managed to open the window revealing the original furniture, and some beautiful frescos. You don’t see bedding or architecture like this now days, it had almost a royal feel to it

When I first saw pictures of this place, I thought it was an old castle. I recently came to find out that it’s actually a deserted green house that was part of an estate left behind in the Italian countryside. Watching the bright colors of the sun sink below the horizon here was one of my favorite memories from this trip

Six flags New Orleans is an abandoned amusement park in Louisiana, USA. When hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, it devastated the entire city of New Orleans. This amusement park in particular was left submerged in water for weeks. When the water receded, it left the entire park past the point of repair. 17 years later you’ll find everything left behind, and an abundance of wild life roaming the park. In the end, nature always wins

This villa was hidden among the farm lands in Italy. After looking around for a while, we navigated our way around the property and managed to find an open door. As we walked in we were greeted with these beautiful frescoes, and some of the most beautiful artwork I’ve seen while exploring abandoned places. I could’ve shot this room all day
