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.
