gemakkelijk voor de poort te parkeren, ze zijn bezig met stippen van het gebouw had voor we heen gingen een video gezien van 2 weken er voor leek erg veel gestript te zijn in 2-4 weken tijd.
toffe locatie met mooi uitzicht dak is nog te bereiken daar in tegen het torentje bijna/niet meer.

Been here today, very beautiful place. The place is currently being Renovated! So if you want to see it in "abandoned condition", you'll have to be fast.

The entire third floor is stripped and ready for renovation, the first and second floor is still full of vandalized rooms.

A beautiful and big building that would normally be a treasure for urbexers, but since it is being renovated its not the "haunted" place it used to be.

Ce lieu est magnifique et majestueux, néanmoins il est fort délabré et a été beaucoup vandalisé...
Lors de notre visite, nous avons croisé des "ouvriers" qui nous ont annoncés en train de faire "des rénovations", disaient-t-ils la vérité ou pas ?? Je ne sais pas.

Es gibt Lost Places, die man immer wieder für was neues vor sich hin schiebt. Denn man denkt, so eine riesige und gewaltige Location, wird wohl für immer stehen, genauso wie für immer bleiben und es vergeht somit genug Zeit, um es sich in weiter ferne, mal anzuschauen zu können. Doch dann kommt der Tag, an dem alles anders kommt, als man es sich hätte vorstellen können. Genau dies, wiederfuhr mir bei dem Sanatorium du Basil. Niemals hätte ich erwartet, dass so ein monströser Kasten, auf so einem enorm weitläufigen Areal, von heute auf morgen verschwinden könnte. Jedoch dies, war leider auch genau der Fall. Das Sanatoruim hatte die langen Jahre des leerstands, somit hinter sich gebracht und wir nun in Zukunft, ein neues Leben als Spitzen Hotel verbringen.
Ich wusste und ahnte schon, dass ich mich beim Sanatorium du Basil beeilen musste, denn viel Zeit, blieb mir nicht mehr und außerdem wollte ich es mir ersparen, dass mir das gleiche wiederfuhr, wie damals beim Sanatorium Dolhain. Denn dort, zögerte ich meinen Besuch ebenso so lange hinaus, bis es schlussendlich zu spät war und ich nur noch den kompletten Rohbau, zu Gesicht bekam. Doch leider war es hier auch schon, knapp an der Grenze von zu spät. An diesem Tag waren die Arbeiter der Abriss, beziehungsweise Entrümplungsfirma schon in den letzten Gebäudetrackt vorgedrungen. Das komplette Inventar aus dem gesamten Sanatorium, war schon aus dem Fenster geworfen worden und um wahrscheinlich Zeit und Geld zu sparen, wurde es angezündet. Tatsächlich spart man mit dieser Methode des Verbrennens, erstens wirklich enorm viel Zeit, denn man muss es weder zerkleinern, noch im Anschluss aufladen, und zweitens spart man sich damit gleich noch das Geld, für den späteren Abtransport. Trotz der Arbeiter auf dem Gelände, konnte ich noch ein letztes mal Zeit mit dem stark angeschlagenen Sanatoruim verbringen, bevor es nun als edles Luxushotel, in ein neues Leben starten kann.

Vroeger altijd grave video's over gezien en wou het bezoeken. In de video's was nog te zien hoe goed de conditie van het gebouw was. Toen ik er naartoe ging was ik verschoten hoe het er nu uit ziet. Vandalisme is er erg aanwezig. Echt spijtig voor zo'n mooi en historisch gebouw. Ook de populaire gang op de bovenste verdieping is totaal geruïneerd. De ladder die er stond om naar de kerktoren (boven aan het gebouw) te gaan ligt nu in de kelder van het klein huisje achter het sanatorium. Zeer spijtig van het vandalisme maar nogsteeds mooie locatie.

Wat een immens mooi gebouw moet het geweest zijn, en nog steeds. Jammer van het vandalisme.
Buitenkant indrukwekkend. Binnen veel van hetzelfde, getrashed en leeg. Maar dat mocht de pret niet drukken. Je kunt er uren rondlopen. Het voelt veilig want je ziet ook een enkele nieuwsgierige toerist of collega urbexers :-)

It was one of the very few sunny days of the rainy belgian summer of 21. The ideal day to visit this urbex legend. The location was easy to find. But on arriving we weren't quite sure if we were in the correct place. The street looked like a private driveway. There is a big sign that reads that only visitors of the hospital are allowed. It is indeed the road to a retirement home. A quick look on google maps learned us that the sanatorium is behind the retirement home and that it is the only road to reach the place. So we took our chances. We parked our car on the parking lot and went further by foot. A few meters behind the home is a barrier and another sign that reads private property. A quick glance to see if anyone is looking, and we crawled under it. After a short walk we reached the sanatorium. It was like entering an postapocalyptic era. The building is huge. First we walked a tour around the building. There is a lot of vandalism, but you can still see how glorious it once must have been. It was very easy to find an enterance, because all the doors and windows are smashed. Inside, the vandalism is even worse... I don't understand why people amuse themselves with trashing such places. It is very sad to see. But despite all that, still worth a visit. If the place is still on your bucket list, than you don't have to wait very long. Last week the place was sold, it will be renovated into a big touristic complex.

This is one of the most iconic urbex locations in Belgium. This site was also my first real urbex experience. Despite the fact that this location is completely trashed, it remains a top location! easy access, hours of exploration, the roof is also easy accessible...

The building itself is a real gem. A unique geometry and a unique story behind this location. A gigantic madhouse. There is a lot of vandalism but if you look closely you can see some very nice grafitti here and there.

This location is guaranteed to give you great pictures when you go home.

Die Fassade ist Wunderschön! Von innen ist nicht wirklich was übrig. Man kann durch die Räume aber Inventar gibt es meines Wissens nach nicht mehr. Dennoch ist es ein schöner Lost Place, denn ich finde, dass die Fassade sehr eindrucksvoll ist.

This place is listed on google, very easy to find. the building is beautiful, so despite the major trashy -ness of it, we decided to pay it a visit. You can just park your car at this still operational hospital a bit down the road and walk up the hill. This seems to be in general a quite famous destination for walkers and hikers, we saw a lot of them... or was it urbexers in disguise? Who knows :)
For the rest it is your typical abandoned healthcare facility, lots of trashy graffiti, not a single window intact, trash everywhere.
Nevertheless, you can get some good shots from various angles inside and outside, and a nice chill walking through the rooms. And you dont have to fear to get shooed out. If you expect the theatrical value of shutter island and co. you are up for disappointment though.

This is an urbex classic.

A beautiful place to begin an urbex adventure.
The whole building is intact but the interior is indeed demolished by vandals and time.
Great place to climb the roof and enjoy the stunning view of the valley in front of the sanatorium.

Definitely a must go before something happens to it!

This was my first visit to this location. Despite the poor condition of the buildings and many traces of vandalism, I still find this place very much worth the visit. It is still an impressive building, beautiful architecture and surrounding nature. Aside from vandalism and theft there is also natural decay to be found.

Be sure to bring a flashlight. The cellar and places that require lighting are the most untouched by vandalism.

There were at least 20-30 other people here during my visit. Their presence didn't bother me though. All were friendly and I actually found them a bit comforting since I was there on my own.

FYI: There seems to be recent ANPR (numberplate recognition) camera on the parking on the road to this location, and also a recently put up barrier and "Private/no entry" signs.

On the 24th october we visited sanatorium du basil. It is a beautiful and really easy location.
The place is really wrecked but still worth to visit.
The view is beautiful and there is georgeous graffiti art around and in the building.

This place felt like a must to visit. You could still see where it's beauty once laid. Now its a trashed up place where even family's go with their kids. There isnt anything of substance to see in the many many rooms. All there is, is vandalism, trash, and overal decay.

I wouldnt have wanted to miss it, but its not a notable location (anymore). I forgot to bring my camera and honestly, I didnt miss it. It was fun, but thats about it. There was a whole lot of other people, including whole groups of up to 10 people.

Het sanatorium is gebouwd rond 1900 en staat leeg sinds 2013. Het zou blijkbaar verkocht zijn om een hotel van te maken. Daarom nog maar vlug een bezoek gebracht. Het gebouw op zich is zeer imposant maar binnen valt het wat tegen omwille van het vandalisme.

Gelukkig het Sanatorium bezocht voordat de grote verziekersbende het pand had ontdekt. Zo jammer dat al die halve zolen met hun verf als die prachtige locaties weten te verzieken. Was even zoek hoe we het best konden aanlopen. Aangezien een brutaal mens de halve wereld heeft, er maar gewoon vanaf de weg naar toe gelopen. Niets geen probleem. Ik moet zeggen dat het gebouw er aan de buitenkant imposant en veelbelovend uit zag. Eenmaal binnen vond ik het toch wat tegenvallen. Mocht de pret niet drukken en toch nog wat aardige foto's kunnen maken. Gelet op de huidige staat van het geheel denk ik niet dat ik er nog een keer naar terug zou keren. Jammer....

Aujourd'hui je vous explique l'exploration de ce lieu.

Tout d'abord nous venons d'assez loin pour y'aller y'a peut pres 3h vois 4h de route ( juste aller )
Nous fessons des pauses quand même

Le lieu est bien placée dans les montagnes et les routes sont magnifique
personnellement j'ai autant apprécie les routes que d'explorer ce batiment

Je n'avais vu que des photos du lieu mais une fois devant on se sent tout petit face a lui
Nous préparons alors le matériel photo.
On commence l'exploration tout ensemble puis on se perd un par un dedans
mais on se retrouve a chaque fois , heureusement

Pour moi le dernière étage laisse place a une vue magnifique par n'importe quel temps
elle est sublime !

Ce que je trouve dommage c'est la dégradation du lieu , il devait avoir encore pas mal de chose dedans avant qu'il soit dégradé

Bref j'ai beaucoup apprécie ce lieu qui ma laissé sans voix et surtout une vue magnifique du paysage ou j'aurai pu rester des heures a regardé le temps mais il y'avait tellement de chose a explorer et a photographié :D

i battle (like many) with depression with many ups and downs.
Sanatorium Du basil is one of the first real urbex locations i went to.
when i drove up to sanatorium du basil i was so impressed, a huge curved building with large boulders instead of bricks finished with a bell tower in the middle it was so impressive.
i got to the top floor of du basil and i look out the window over the mountains and the woods from where the mist hung over the trees this literally took my breath away.
that was the turning point of my life now urbex is my distraction as soon as i feel down i just go urbexing and is that not a option than i start reorganizing my locations.

Sehr abgerockt Location. Bei meinem ersten Besuch war noch das Inventar der Küche und alle Treppen Geländer vorhanden. Beim zweiten Besuch,eine Woche später war all dies nicht mehr vorhanden.
Wer auf Architektur steht sollte diesen Ort trotzdem mal besucht haben

My first time urbex..

Sanatorium du Basil was the first spot I visited. And I liked exploring it. The building was totaly trashed: broken windows, garbage, stolen copper and eqcuipment, graffiti,..
But still, this building has a lot to offer.
There's still a story that can be told. You just have to look for it.

When we arrived we took the front to look at it. Entering is easy. Almost every door, window is smashed or wide open.
The building at the back has a more dark view, and more creepy vibe.

Fijn om voor de verandering eens geen hekken en/of borden tegen te komen. Je kunt er zo heen rijden, parkeren en naar binnen wandelen. En we waren niet de enigen, want er stonden nog 4 auto’s. Van buiten is Sanatorium du Basil echt een plaatje, een 10. Van binnen moet je hard zoeken en echt de nodige kilometers lopen, maar ook dan kom je zeker aan een 6. Maar het meeste is echt volledig gesloopt. We zijn nog even 2 geïmproviseerde trappen opgeklommen om op zolder te geraken en nog even het torentje te bekijken.

Nice not to encounter fences and / or signs for a change. You can drive there, park and walk in. And we were not alone, because there were still 4 cars. From the outside Sanatorium du Basil is really a picture, a 10. Inside you have to search hard and really walk the necessary kilometers, but even then you will certainly get a 6. But most of it is really completely demolished. We climbed 2 improvised stairs to get to the attic and have a look at the tower.

Locatie 4/4

SANATORIUM PROVINCIAL de B* pour les Hommes
SANATORIUM du Basil

gebouwd omstreeks 1900
verlaten sinds 2013
te koop voor €3.000.000


GESCHIEDENIS

Dit imposante gebouw ligt in de Ardennen
Het sanatorium is ook bekend als ‘Sanatorium du Basil’.
Het initiatief voor de bouw van een sanatorium, kwam in 1899 van de directeur van het Bacteriologisch Laboratorium, Ernest Malvoz.
Omstreeks 1900 werd er gestart met de bouw en in 1903 werden de eerste patiënten opgevangen. De locatie op een heuvel midden in een bosrijk gebied, is niet willekeurig gekozen.
Door de schone lucht en rustgevende omgeving maakt het een gunstig klimaat voor de tuberculosepatiënten om te herstellen.
Tevens is op het zuiden gerichte hoofdgebouw zo ontworpen dat door zijn gebogen vorm men optimaal kon profiteren van het zonlicht.
Dit had een positief effect op de behandeling.
Het hoofdgebouw is symmetrisch opgezet met als middelpunt een toren met klok. In het westen was de medische afdeling. Op de eerste verdieping aan de achterzijde bevond zich de kantine en keuken. De was- en stookruimte waren gevestigd op begane grond met een opgemetseld bakstenen schoorsteen.
Na de periode als sanatorium gediend te hebben, werd het gebouw een psychiatrische instelling.
Van 2010 tot 2013 werd het een asielzoekerscentrum. Hierna werd het gebouw gesloten vanwege hoge onderhoudskosten. Sinds die tijd staat het complex te koop voor €3.000.000,-.

HEDEN

Het gehele complex is een verschrikkelijke staat. Dit door vooral Vandalisme.
Research naar de historie en gegevens liet het verval duidelijk zien; vanaf 2008, foto's van buiten als ook van binnen, is duidelijk het vandalisme te zien.
Na 2013 ging het zeer snel met het verval. Foto's op site's van 2017-2018 toonden nog meubilair en deuren in kamers. Zoals ook nog een deels bestaande keuken met apparatuur...
Ik blijf het onbegrijpelijk vinden wat de lol is om vernielingen aan te richten... dood zonde en NIET OKÉ...

MIJN MENING

Een schittert gebouw, je herkent de klassieke bouwstijl van 1900.
Ik heb op het internet nog foto's van rond 1903 - 1960 gevonden en geplaatst.
Schitterend vind ik de grote trap ... Die er nu niet meer is, helaas.
Wat ik mij toch steeds af vraag waarom eigenaren van zo een schitterende locaties de nieuwsgierigheid van mensen niet benut en het openstelt tegen een vergoeding ...
Bijvoorbeeld:
Deels een museum ervan maakt, deels een tentoonstellingsruimte met geschiedenis en apparatuur van toen, of actuele thema's, workshops, etc...
Het creëert werkgelegenheid en brengt geld op voor onderhoud.
Daarbij kan men een stichting opzetten voor donaties om het gebouw bij een te kort aan geld voor het onderhoud te steunen....
Maar ja, ik heb het al eens eerder gezegd... ik ben geen politicus. Gelukkig of helaas...???... Oog van de betrachter...

SANATORIUM PROVINCIAL de B* pour les Hommes
SANATORIUM du Basil

built around 1900
abandoned since 2013
for sale for € 3,000,000

HISTORY

This imposing building is located in the Ardennes
The sanatorium is also known as "Sanatorium du Basil".
The initiative for building a sanatorium came in 1899 from the director of the Bacteriological Laboratory, Ernest Malvoz.
Construction started around 1900 and the first patients were received in 1903.
The location on a hill in the middle of a wooded area was not chosen randomly.
Due to the clean air and soothing environment, makes it a favorable environment for the tuberculosis patients to recover.
The south-facing main building was designed in such a way that due to its curved shape, one could take full advantage of the sunlight.
This had a positive effect on the treatment.
The main building is set up symmetrically, with a tower and clock at its center. In the west was the medical department. The canteen and kitchen were located on the first floor at the backsite of the building. The laundry and boiler room were located on the ground floor with a brick chimney.
After serving as a sanatorium for the time, the building became a psychiatric institution.
From 2010 to 2013 it became an asylum seekers' center. After this, the building was closed due to high maintenance costs. Since that time, the complex has been for sale for € 3.000.000,-

PRESENT DAY

The whole complex is in terrible condition. This is mainly due to Vandalism.
Research into the history and data clearly showed the decline; from 2008, photos from the outside as well as from the inside, the vandalism is clearly visible.
After 2013, things went down very quickly. Photos on sites from 2017-2018 still showed furniture and doors in rooms. As also a partially existing kitchen with appliances ...
I keep finding it incomprehensible what the fun is to wreak havoc ... A shame and NOT DONE ...

MY OPINION

A sparkling building, you can recognize the classic architectural style of 1900.
I found and posted photos from around 1903 - 1960 on the internet.
I think the grand staircase is very beautiful ... Which is no longer exists, unfortunately.
What I still wonder; why owners of such beautiful location, do not take advantage of people's curiosity and open it up for a fee ...
For example:
Partly turning it into a museum, partly an exhibition space with history and equipment from that time, or current themes, workshops, etc ...
It creates employment and earns money for maintenance.
In addition, one can set up a foundation for donations to support the building whenever there is a shortage of money for maintenance ....
But yes, I've wrote it before ... I'm not a politician. Happy or unfortunately ... ??? ... Eye of the betrayer ...

SANATORIUM PROVINCIAL de B* pour les Hommes
SANATORIUM du Basil

erbaut um das Jahr 1900
verlassen seit 2013
zum Verkauf für € 3.000.000


GESCHICHTE

Dieses imposante Gebäude befindet sich in den Ardennen
Das Sanatorium ist auch als "Sanatorium du Basil" bekannt.
Die Initiative zum Bau eines Sanatoriums kam 1899 vom Direktor des Bakteriologischen Labors, Ernest Malvoz.
Die Bauarbeiten begannen um das Jahr 1900 und die ersten Patienten wurden 1903 aufgenommen. Der Standort auf einem Hügel mitten in einem Waldgebiet wurde nicht zufällig ausgewählt.
Aufgrund der frischen Luft und der beruhigenden Umgebung ist es für die Tuberkulose-Patienten eine günstige Umgebung, sich zu erholen.
Das nach Süden ausgerichtete Hauptgebäude wurde ebenfalls so gestaltet, dass man aufgrund seiner geschwungenen Form das Sonnenlicht voll ausnutzen kann.
Dies wirkte sich positiv auf die Behandlung aus.
Das Hauptgebäude ist symmetrisch aufgebaut, mit einem Turm mit einer Glocke in der Mitte. Im Westen befand sich die medizinische Abteilung. Die Kantine und die Küche befanden sich im ersten Stock im hinteren Bereich. Der Wasch- und Heizraum befand sich im Erdgeschoss mit einem Schornstein aus Ziegeln.
Nachdem das Gebäude für diese Zeit als Sanatorium gedient hatte, wurde es zu einer psychiatrischen Anstalt.
Von 2010 bis 2013 wurde es ein Asylbewerberzentrum. Danach wurde das Gebäude wegen hoher Wartungskosten geschlossen. Seitdem steht das Komplex für 3.000.000 Euro zum Verkauf.

HEUTE

Das gesamte Komplex ist in einem schrecklichen Zustand. Dies ist hauptsächlich auf Vandalismus zurückzuführen.
Research der Geschichte und der Daten zeigten deutlich den Verfal; Ab 2008 zeigen Fotos, außenseite sowie von innen, der Vandalismus deutlich.
Nach 2013 ging es sehr schnell bergab. Fotos auf Websites von 2017-2018 zeigten noch Möbel und Türen in Räumen. Da auch eine teilweise vorhandene Küche mit Geräten ...
Ich finde es immer wieder unverständlich, was der Spaß ist, Chaos anzurichten ... Sünde und NICHT OK ...

MEINE MEINUNG

Ein wunder schönes Gebäude, mann erkennt den klassischen Baustil von 1900.
Ich habe Fotos von 1903 - 1960 im Internet gefunden und gepostet.
Ich finde die große Treppe wunderschön ... die leider nicht mehr da ist.

Was ich mich immer befrage, warum Inhaber so schöner Orte die Neugier der Menschen nicht ausnutzt und gegen eine Gebühr öffnen ...
Beispielsweise:
Teilweise ein Museum, teils ein Ausstellungsraum mit Geschichte und Ausrüstung aus dieser Zeit, oder aktuellen Themen, Workshops usw.
Es verschaft Arbeitsplätze und bringt Geld für Wartungskosten.
Darüber hinaus kann man eine Stiftung für Spenden einrichten, um das Gebäude zu unterstützen, wenn es an Geld für die Instandhaltung mangelt.
Na ja, ich habe es schon einmal gesagt ... Ich bin keine Politikerin. Zum Glück oder leider ... ??? ... Auge des Betrachters...

One of the very few sanatoriums we ever visited. Actually the best location for people who recently started urbexing. No sexurity or fence.
Which might actually be the reason for so many people visiting. We actually ran into 5 other groups🖐
Can just recommend it!

Op een zonnige dag bezochten we deze makkelijk te bereiken locatie. Wij besloten om ons op enkele honderden meters van de locatie op een parking te parkeren. Sommigen rijden echter tot op het gras voor de gebouwen. Iets wat wij nogal onrespectvol vinden.

Het eerste wat opviel was dat het om een grotere locatie gaat. Ik kan me inbeelden dat sommige hier uren vertoeven. Dus best genoeg tijd vooraf voorzien. In geval je meerdere locaties wenst te bezoeken op dezelfde dag.

Voor de gebouwen lag er nogal wat bouwafval. Ook afval van vandalisme. Er is blijkbaar nog getracht om de locatie te renoveren. Op sommige ramen hingen zelfs nog de nieuwe stickers.

In de kleine bijbehorende gebouwen is nogal wat vandalisme gepleegd. In het hoofdgebouw zijn alle kamers gestript. Tal van grafitti sieren de muren. In sommige kamers zijn er rituelen gehouden vermoeden we. We zagen in elk geval meerdere pentagrams getekend op de vloer.

Voor wie durft zijn er geïmproviseerde ladders om tot in de toren te raken. Volgens sommigen spookt het er in een gang boven. En hoor je er stemmen en geluiden.

Er is ook het bekende poolbad. Op foto's lijkt het altijd vrij groot. In werkelijkheid is het even schrikken van is het dit?

Tot nu zag ik enkel foto's van de voorkant. En van de hoge schouwen.
Zelf vond ik de achterkant ook iets moois hebben.
Oordeel zelf op mijn bijgevoegde foto. Het uitzicht langs achter doet mij aan een postkaart denken.

Het is zo spijtig dat als er niet snel ingegrepen wordt, deze locatie ten dode is opgeschreven. Waarom laat men in ons land zulke mooie gebouwen verloren gaan?

Bij het einde van ons bezoek keken we nog 1 keer om. Sloten onze ogen en luisterden...
Hebben we nu echt de screams of tormented souls gehoord? Of was het toch onze eigen fantasie?

Ga zelf op onderzoek en ontdek of ook jij ze hoort.

Mysterious.


On a sunny day we visited this easily accessible location. We decided to park in a parking lot a few hundred meters from the location. Some, however, drive to the grass in front of the buildings. Something we find quite disrespectful.

The first thing I noticed was that it is a larger location. I can imagine some staying here for hours. So best to allow enough time in advance. In case you wish to visit multiple locations on the same day.

There was a lot of construction waste in front of the buildings. Also waste from vandalism. Apparently, efforts have been made to renovate the location. The new stickers were even hanging on some windows.

A lot of vandalism has been committed in the small associated buildings. All rooms in the main building have been gutted. Numerous grafitti adorn the walls. We suspect rituals have been held in some rooms. In any case, we saw several pentagrams drawn on the floor.

For those who dare, there are improvised ladders to get to the tower. Some say it is haunted in a corridor above. And you will hear voices and sounds.

There is also the well-known pool. On photos it always seems quite large. In reality it is a bit of a shock that it is not what it seems.

Until now I only saw photos of the front. And from the high chimneys.
I myself found the back to have something beautiful.
Judge for yourself in my attached photo. The view from behind reminds me of a postcard.

It is so unfortunate that if action is not taken quickly, this location will be doomed. Why are such beautiful buildings lost in our country?

At the end of our visit we looked back one more time. Closed our eyes and listened ...
Have we really heard the screams of tormented souls? Or was it our own fantasy?

Investigate yourself and find out if you also hear them.

Mysterious.

It is a great place to visit. The day I was there there was a lot of snow. With snow, the place is even more beautiful.
Despite all the vandalism, you can still take very nice photos.
If you are psychic it is also a beautiful place

I've visited this spot many times, but last time I went there, in July 2019, I was surprised and frustrated to discover that the place had been completely trashed.
It's million miles away from the sanatorium I first visited a few years ago.
There's literally nothing left, that's a shame.

Anyway, it's still a nice spot to take photos, the architecture of the building and the woods surrounding the place are really superb.

Ein sehr bekannter Lost Place in Belgien. Als wir die Außenaufnahmen sahen waren wir sofort fasziniert und wussten, dass wir diesen Ort unbedingt besuchen müssen. Von außen immer einen Besuch wert, leider ist so gut wie keine Scheibe mehr intakt, es ist sehr viel beschmiert und generell zerstört. Trotz allem ein schöner "Anfänger-Place". Es gibt immer noch einiges zu entdecken.

It's an impressive building which ( unfortunately ) is totally trashed. The surroundings of the building is great but inside is not much to see.
The rooms are almost the same throughout the whole building.

C'est un lieu a faire quand on débute mais quand on a déjà fait plein de belles choses avant, comme Alla Italia par exemple, c'est très décevant. Il y avait plusieurs groupes de personnes, je n'ai pas pu être seule a un étage un seul moment. J'ai fait le tour très rapidement de 2 étages puis j'ai décidé de partir. Les seules choses qui sont intéressantes a photographier ce sont les paysages autour et l'extérieur du bâtiment. J'ai par contre beaucoup aimé faire des recherches sur son histoire pour écrire le texte qui accompagne mes photos sur ma page Facebook. Il paraît qu'il est en rénovation maintenant, c'est peut être mieux comme ça, il n'y avait plus rien a voir de toute façon.

On a hill in the Ardennes lies the sanatorium du Basil. Many vandals are attracted to this and you meet many people.
