October 1913 is the year in which this engineering wonder was inaugurated, the pumping station that watered a whole city. The noise produced by this mechanism could be heard from 20 km, which is probably why it was built somewhere outside the city.
It hasn’t been working for a long time, remaining in a state of degradation, with only a few dozen pigeons keeping company to this old artifact. . boredpanda.com

As if torn apart from a land of the forbidden, the place that once flourished and lived its history peacefully enough now seems like a haunted place. The explosion in the Chernobyl in 1986 shook Pripiat, its neighbor, as well and shaped the tragic history of the two cities. boredpanda.com »

Before this house in upstate New York went up for sale, it was left completely abandoned. Antique art, furniture, medical equipment, a full taxidermy tiger rug and (gasp) shotguns! Those were just some of the many valuable items lying in every single room of this forgotten home. boredpanda.com »

A few weeks ago I visited this amazing Asylum in Italy. The asylum was designed in 1789 and the work was completed in the early 1800s. The King of Sardinia opened the church building for the Sons of the Militaries in 1834. boredpanda.com »

In these photo’s I’ve tried to capture the beauty in abandoned chapels and churches. Places like these can be very old carrying lots of history with them. The difference in architecture is great to see and I believe that each place tells it own story. boredpanda.com »
