the church with cubic stained-glass windows
Montréal, Quebec (Canada)
Closed in 2013, this church located along the highway has today a very sad mine. From the outside, a section of its stone wall presents risks of...
the old abandoned family institute
Laurentides, Quebec (Canada)
We are in 1887, almost four years after the founding of this municipality of the Laurentians region, north of Montreal. Arrivals from the Saint-Laurent city after four days of driving in a barouche, two Marianite nuns from Sainte-Croix have the...
the old abandoned sawmill
The advantage of a 4 hours ride to visit an abandoned sawmill is that we increase our chances of finding an intact place without the slightest trace of vandalism. Or at least, very little. All along the road, the fear of finding a barricaded...
the abandoned foundry
Gaspésie, Quebec (Canada)
It takes a lot of motivation to get to this old mine and foundry abandoned since 2002. For it must be admitted that we are rather far from everything in this distant municipality of 650 inhabitants. Moreover, if this village exists, it is above all...
the Minister's House
Montréal, Quebec (Canada)
From the outside, one notices its architectural details and its wrought iron. Without forgetting its balconies and its heterogeneous structure that stands out from this neighborhood to the residential buildings with the austere austere. Now, it is...
the old vegetable oil plant
Montréal, Quebec (Canada)
It can not be said that the place is in a good shape. The water infiltrates through every small hole in the roof to the point of offering on this cold winter night a skating rink on each floor. Moreover, the ice must make more than eight centimeters...
the old scrap yard
Saint-Amable, Quebec (Canada)
The place has something to surprise you. More than 2,000 vehicles dating from before 1975 scattered in a vast wooded area. Wooded which has made a way through the rusted carcasses that are slowly covered with a vegetation that resumes its rights...
the old convent of the Sisters of Redemption
It is at high speed that the old convent of the Sisters of the Redemption undergoes the thunders of vandals who are looking for strong sensations. Classified as a heritage building, the religious community deserted it in the mid-1990s for a retreat...
le Silo no. 5
Montréal, Quebec (Canada)
A true emblem of the Old Port of Montreal, it is difficult to miss the Silo # 5, a gigantic concrete structure south of McGill Street. The complex consists of 206 silos and an amalgam of buildings built over a period of more than fifty years,...
the old abandoned pulp and paper complex
For the region, it is a vestige of an industrial era that is now over. Whereas in the past, the factory gave a salary to nearly a hundred employees, the complex is now padlocked and deserted, although monitored by about twenty surveillance cameras....
the old abandoned monastery
The monastery was built at the beginning of the 20th century. Situated on a mountainside so as to offer occupants a breathtaking view of the area that extends to their feet, the site is still 100 years later of great beauty. Three floors high, the...
the old and abandoned mine
Heavily damaged by the time, the old copper mine is closed for several years. While its lower floors are completely flooded with muddy and stagnant water, the ground floor was, meanwhile, weakened by a sedimentary rock ceiling that collapsed in some...
the Shelburne abandoned Youth Centre
Shelburne, Nova Scotia (Canada)
* * * * * UPDATE - Message from the owner: this facility is no longer abandoned and will be a regularly used Airsoft field for local groups that someone could be injured. This means that anyone coming on to the property to take photographs (thinking...
the old Teleglobe satellite station
Charleston, Nova Scotia (Canada)
Built in the woods near the hamlet of Mill Village, the Teleglobe station is no longer the shadow of what it once was. Built in 1964 at a cost of $ 9 million, the vast complex was part of an extensive satellite program for the transmission of...
the old and abandoned Protestant church
Gaspésie, Quebec (Canada)
In 1892 begins the construction of the St. Andrew's church in this small village somewhere in Gaspésie. While the land was formerly occupied by the Mi'kmaq, the region was soon settled by Scots in the nineteenth century followed by Irish, English...
Shannon Park
Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada)
Built in 1949 on the shores of the Bedford Basin in Halifax, Shannon Park is a former site of the Department of National Defence (DND) that stretches on over 96.5 acres (38.8 hectares). While the site was gradually abandoned at the turn of 2000, it...
the old jail of the county
Project ideas abound for this old provincial jail today abandoned. The building has been closed in 2001 following the construction of a larger and more modern correctional center. More than a dozen projects have been launched in the air: a shelter...
the old superstructures plant
Montréal, Quebec (Canada)
More than a century of expertise in the construction of mega steel structure that represents hundreds of projects from coast to coast. The company's story began in 1879 in Toronto, where a group of businessmen sniff a bargain following the...
the old board mill
Estrie, Quebec (Canada)
It was October 3, 2014 when it has been heard for the last time the siren for the end of the work shift. The last 180 employees picked up their belongings and closed the door behind them, thus ending an industrial history of over 125 years. Family...
the abandoned workshop
This is the story of the saw manufacturing industry where methods have not changed for decades. The result is this building that has certainly been enlarged over the years, but the interior has retained its old-fashioned charm. You should know that...
Mr. Sweetman's general store
Port-Daniel, Quebec (Canada)
Mr. Sweetman were very sympathetic to the idea of making me visit his old general store closed today. But not that easy to understand him. He was switching from French to English constantly. "Look at here, this is the vieux tiroir-caisse avec le...
the old abandoned church
Montérégie, Quebec (Canada)
The exodus of churches is not a secret. While in 2003 there was 2751 places of worship in Quebec, 270 of them were sold, closed or transformed in the space of ten years. And the trend is still moving in the same path. If a little more than half of...
