Monastery Vinea Domini (NL) – Abandoned monastery in the north of Holland
Monastery Vinea Domini is a Augustinian Monastery in Witmarsum which dates from the early twentieth century and served as a residential building for the monks until 1992. I visited this great urbex location nearby my hometown with my son Twan. A great exploration!
Hotel Jadran (HR) – Abandoned hotel in Croatia
Hotel Jadran was socialist Yugoslavia’s first hotel. When the construction of the hotel finished in 1950, most observers agreed that it was the most beautiful on the coast, situated along a three kilometer stretch of pebble beach on the Makarska Riviera in the tiny town of Tucepi, and surrounded in pines. This was my first urban exploration in a foreign country.
