From royal residences, aristocratic resorts, magnificent hotels, and urban buildings, millions of different houses seem to be left and forgotten all around the world. Their beauty, ever so disturbed, still fascinates us, and it isn’t surprising that tourists are happy to visit them even today.
Halcyon Hall, New York
The elite New York girls were educated at this college, but as mixed-school education gained popularity, it fell into oblivion way back in 1978. The main building dates back to 1893.
Sans Souci, Milot, Haiti
King Henry Christoph of British Grenada built this castle. As a former slave, he fought for liberation from the French colonialists. As the elected president of an independent Haiti, he turned into a tyrant and established his own kingdom in the north of the country. This was one of his largest residences, but in 1842 it was seriously damaged by an earthquake and remains in the same state even today.
Havré Castle, Belgium
This fort was the center of great action during the 16th century when Don John of Austria ruled half of Spain. In the 17th century, it was modernized and turned into a farmhouse. No one has lived in it since the beginning of the 20th century.
