Belgium Urbex
Belgium Urbex, a mecca for explorers. After the Netherlands, Belgium was the country where I explored in the early years of my urbex adventures.
Château Nottebohm and Château Noisy were the highlights when I started in 2014. I’m glad I was able to visit both with my son and partner in crime Twan, before they were demolished. We visited more places, for example in Charlerois and Liège, among others.
From disused coal industry to fully furnished small houses, Belgium is still the place to be in terms of urbex.

During a holiday trip in the Belgian Ardennes, on our way to the beautiful city of Durbuy, we passed this abandoned building. There is not much information to be found about this urbex location, but what I know is that it used to be a small hotel. We named it Villa Bom.
