Located in the countryside near the village of Sainte-Clotilde-de-Horton, the Notre-Dame de la Chesnaie house is abandoned since 2002. Over the past decade, it was a real festival of vandalism inside the building. Graffiti, destruction, partial roof collapse under the weight of explorers, etc. This is a short list of the various abuses which it was subjected.

Abuse have unfortunately not been made only to the building. Several blood curdling stories show a troubled and inglorious past about this place.

Ravenloft Castle is hidden deep into the woods outside a small town in upstate New York. Construction began during the early years of World War I. Unfortunately, the owner never had the chance to live in it, as he died three years before the construction ceased in 1924. The castle was never completed nor was it ever lived in. Today, it is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Even if the term "abandoned village" applies to this little hamlet that was Rivière-La Guerre, I must admit that there is today not a lot of vestiges to testify the presence of this old Scottish village. This village has lived, after all, only thirty years.

The name Rivière-La Guerre takes its origin from François dit La Guerre who lived in the region at the beginning of the nineteenth century.

Abandoned for more modern constructions or left behind to adrift once the occupants died, abandoned houses populate the countryside. Hidden under vegetation who tries to conquer its old territory, sometimes the passing years prevent explorers from entering into these incredible places by collapsing the foundations or by twisting the walls like old rags.

Few of them will be restored after many years left to themselves. Most of the time, years will turn them down or they will be destroyed when municipal councils get tired to see these buildings agonizing (and visited by kids).
