Usine Comet

Abandoned factory somewhere in Belgium. I think that this factory was producing beer kegs, at least that's what I found on the internet, but I'm not really sure about it. It was a big factory, and some of the buildings have already been demolished. I met three officials there, while exploring the place, and they told me the site was being cleaned because it was heavily polluted, but I don't know if it will totally demolished or if it will be partially rehabilitated.

Triage-Lavoir P.

Abandoned coal washing facility somewhere in Belgium. This place closed its doors in 1977. Rehabilitating works began in 2005, which can be seen by the thousands of new windows that were put in place. For an unknown reason, the works have been stopped, and now the place is still left to rot waiting to retrieve its past glory. This building is a real maze with lots of stairs everywhere.

Crypte L.

Abandoned crypt somewhere in Belgium. This crypt lies under a well known belgian cemetery and is now the eternal house of some famous people. It runs all along the graveyard, so it's quite big. It has been built in 1878 nad, from what I know, has been closed in teh eighties. The reason why it's forbidden to the public is that most of the ceiling threatens to collapse, so it's quite a dangerous place to be.

Manoir P.

Abandoned Manor somewhere in Belgium. I don't know much about this manor, but it must have been abandoned for a real long time. The manor in itself is in a very bad state: all the floors have collapsed, all that's left of it are the walls. In fact, the most interesting part of this small exploration was the dependencies, of which you can see a shot here. There was an old Volkswagen in one of it.

Tannerie Schotte

Abandoned tannery somewhere in Belgium. This old tannery is a very big place with many buildings. It's a well known place in the urban exploration world. There's not much to see there, as almost all the buildings are empty, but the architecture of this place is very nice, making it an interesting exploration. The place is very dangerous as there is asbestos almost everywhere in it. Some rumours said it will be demolished soon, but from what I've seen during my last visit, I think they will be renovating the place instead of demolishing it, which would be a shame.
