Netherlands Urbex Locations I visited in 2021 & Before

Garage Kees en Annie (NL) – Old abandoned sheds with faded glory, full of oldtimers

May 28, 2021 by Pepper

Zo’n vijf jaar geleden werd ik getipt over deze plek door een aardige explorer uit Veendam en het duurde niet lang dat ik weer een trip maakte naar het Groninger platteland. Stil en verlaten, een langgerekte weg met hier en daar boerderijen, maar pal er tegenover een woonhuis met vrij uitzicht. Parkeren zou opvallen, ook al staat de auto verderop. Brutalen hebben de halve wereld, maar ik ben soms wat te bescheiden; de eerste keer bleef het bij verkennen.

Farm Wooden Shoes (NL)

May 14, 2021 by Pepper

This abandoned farm is at a beautiful location in the north of the Netherlands, and once a rich farmer must have lived here with his happy family.
Now there is not much left – we skipped the leftovers in the kitchen – but the authentic Frisian wooden shoes at this place were special.

Château de Al Mère (NL) – waiting for the guests to arrive

March 14, 2019 by Pepper

Château de Al Mère is a half-finished castle, meant to be a hotel: construction started in 2000 but was stopped in 2002, after which the structure was turned into a modern ruin. The castle is still waiting for its first guests to arrive…

Nursing Home Snippendael (NL) – Up to the white light of eternity

March 10, 2019 by Pepper

Here, upon these ghostly shadows of men and women
There are no smiles
Singly, they mingle, with the greyness of the walls
And at strange angels, they travel on to nowhere
