Sainte-Clothilde-de-Horton, Quebec (Canada)
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...
the former village of Rivière-La Guerre
Rivière-La Guerre, Quebec (Canada)
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...

the Mr. Chaume shack
Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Quebec (Canada)
This is the story of Mr. Chaume and his house. A house that was sold in the 1970s to my stepfather but the notarial act stipulated that Mr. Chaume,the seller, could stay in the house for free until his death. In the meantime, the buyer would not be...

Sold in July 2008 for $ 400,000 to real estate developers who wanted to convert the church into a residence for the elderly, the project will unfortunately never happen. While the parish was ready to sell the property (church, rectory and a large...
the 6240 Park Avenue building
Montréal, Quebec (Canada)
The building, called the Omnipac, is for sale and the sellers offer a touch of humor to attract potential buyers. "Completely renovated," says the sign even if there is a graffiti invasion on every walls and all windows are missing. The place is...
the abandoned campground
Sainte-Brigide d'Iberville, Quebec (Canada)
Located near Highway 10, camping Martel, also known as the Gite du passant, is abandoned for a long time. Moreover, I had to discuss with the old villagers to know the name of that place. I tried to learn more by sending an email to the city, but...
the old gas pumps
Saint-Armand, Quebec (Canada)
Judging by the price on these old gas pumps, there is no doubt about the fact that they are abandoned long ago. If you look carefully at the left pump, it shows 68.4 ¢ per gallon (approximately 18 cents per liter), and the right one (probably Super...
the old Conveyor dock's tower
Montréal, Quebec (Canada)
So you might think the old Conveyor dock's tower straight out of the fourteenth century, but you're wrong. The pier on which it is located was built in 1956-1957 and was one of the last marine works at the port of Montreal before it does change its...
the Singer's abandoned plant
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec (Canada)

Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec (Canada)
Infected with tuberculosis, the former Jewish hospital was abandoned since 1998. Built in 1930, the building was Art Deco inspiration which was uncommon outside the cities. Was Art Deco inspiration because the building has been demolished in 2005...
the Wellington Tower
Montréal, Quebec (Canada)
Built in 1930, the Wellington tower has ceased operations in 2000. Despite the years that have passed and graffiti artists who came to express their art, the structure of the old tower is still ok. When it was in operation, that's where that were...

the old country cemeteries
Montérégie, Quebec (Canada)
While Catholics generally have the habit of placing their cemeteries behind the churches, this rule is often not respected among Anglicans who put their cemetery at the corner of a country road or in the middle of a pasture. Many of these cemeteries...
Fort Rodney
Pigeon Island, Gros-Islet (Saint Lucia)
Okay, Fort Rodney is more a tourist place than abandoned, conducive to exploration. Besides, I wasn't sure about these photos on this website. Well, they are published, but I'm still not convinced to keep them all on Urbex Playground. Not that I...
the abandoned bridges
All around, Quebec (Canada)
In Quebec, we have built more than 1000 during the last century, but we count today only 88 of them. Covered bridges, a real relic of a time resolved, are unfortunately ill-suited to our modern life. Originally, they were appreciated for various...
