It was built in the mid-1920s for Czech-speaking pupils. About 20 years ago, the local schools were merged, and it has been dilapidated ever since. Not much of the furnishings remain, but it's still a nice place to visit. Unfortunately my phone betrayed me on the way, so I have to use the photos my partner took.

I don't know if it belongs here, but it's abandoned and I've seen it in a couple of albums:)

This time a location I know nothing about. Possibly a former auto body shop, judging by the wheel balancer and the C-bombs. Such a small urbex for a few minutes, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much equipment and rather valuable stuff was left there, considering the location. Of all the urbexes in the area, it's definitely the best preserved.

We went here rather blindly, with the information that there were supposed to be buildings of former freezers and a brewery and a large underground underneath. However, no one expected it to be this big. Several floors of cellars and huge, old corridors underneath. The buildings are in a state of disrepair, there is nothing left of the original equipment, the roof has long since fallen off in many places, apart from debris and occasional piles of rubbish, there is actually nothing here. But the underground labyrinth still has an amazing atmosphere.

For me a really good urbex, it's just a pity that we had to leave after a while. According to traceable information, the chemical plant has been operating since 1933, the site is even a bit older and the buildings housed other companies before that. In the last years of operation, detergents and degreasers were produced here. It finally closed in 2009, some parts of which look like their demise came many years earlier.

It is a "pseudo-renaissance" castle that was converted into a factory convalescent home sometime during the previous regime. Since the beginning of the 90s it was operated as a hotel, probably until 2006 (I haven't found much information about it, so I'm guessing). However, the plans were ruined by the economic crisis and so the hotel (castle) including 2 adjacent cottages is still dilapidated...

another, not very interesting quickie, a kind of local pass. It should be a former monastery, which was used by the army during the previous regime and has been decaying ever since. The pentagram on the attic gives it a rather creepy atmosphere. And the turret has a nice view of the surrounding area.

We have visited this famous Urbex castle, located near Mělník, before the new owner bought it. We had already heard that it was probably already secured and that the people taking care of it were quite aggressive. But today we saw it for ourselves. I would just like to stress that we did not go into the castle, which has no trespassing signs around it, out of respect for the people trying to save it. But on our last visit we missed a couple of buildings located outside its walls and since today was a drive by we decided to take a peek. We came along a path where we didn't have to climb over a fence or pass a no trespassing sign (yes we saw it, but it was located just behind the buildings we wanted to enter and prohibited access to the "castle site". Since the construction site was not marked in any way, we figured it was the sign that marked it and it starts after it) We entered the building through the wide open door, walked through the few accessible rooms and quietly left the same way. ( I don't rate whether we had anything to do there or not, I think every urbexer knows the risks and knows they are on thin ice. I'm not addressing the fact that the owner is policing his property, I fully understand that. (I'm only addressing his behavior...) As we were sitting in the car getting ready to leave a van pulled up and the driver confronted us about what we were doing there. Of course we tried to apologize and explain our penchant for urbex as politely as possible. Unfortunately it was futile, he wouldn't even let us finish. After a while he said that if he saw us again he would beat us up or shoot us, that he didn't care. My still polite response by asking him if it was necessary for him to threaten us with death here led him to shouting and swearing at the oxen. After our last effort to calm the situation by saying "sorry but don't yell at us" he started to climb out of the car and all indications were that he wanted to confront us physically and not just verbally. At that moment my friend hit the accelerator and drove off, which was probably the most sensible solution, otherwise the situation would have only escalated more... WITH THIS POST I JUST WANT TO WARN OTHER URBEXERS NOT TO GO TO THE CASTLE OR ITS SURROUNDINGS. Apart from our, still relatively calm, incident, I read on one urbex group about another group of urbexers who were probably attacked by the same person with an iron bar. I guess it's not really worth it...

Another late-night quickie. The house is located on the edge of a village which, like any other, is surely full of observant neighbours. And running around at night with a torch is certainly not inconspicuous.

I don't normally go to urbex at night, but this one wasn't even planned. While wandering around at night we came across a couple of houses shrouded in darkness. Expectations weren't high, and in the end they weren't surpassed, but the actual album probably deserves it. After all, I've been to "worse" urbexes...

I had already seen the abandoned castle, located at the end of a village, last year, but I didn't get inside (although, as I found out today, the shaft next to the castle leading underground, which last time I thought was a remnant of a cesspool and preferred not to go into it, led to the cellar). Today, for the second time, however, I succeeded. Unfortunately, there is not much left inside, the building shows the beginnings of a never-finished reconstruction, during which all the remaining equipment was cleared out. Only two out-of-tune pianos dominate the interior.

The Baroque castle, which is unfortunately in a rather deplorable state except for the chapel

although the boats have probably not been repaired here for quite a long time, the area looks as if it is still partially used. One of the buildings is probably a hostel and there are several parked machines, which are definitely not abandoned. Getting into the halls is a bit of a challenge, but nothing impossible. Apart from a few presumably marine engines and gensets, there are also 3 large river boats and a police boat... Eventually there was a climb up one of the cranes.

Definitely the best preserved place I've visited so far, the tap is still running and you can even turn on the light in one room. The building is located very close to the gatehouse of one of the complexes, where a guard still sits, it is directly adjacent to a building that is still in use, and through the windows you can see in not only from the premises, but also from outside, where quite a few people move around during the day, this is probably enough to deter vandals and thieves. Some of the rooms are all cluttered up, but some of them could just be swept up slowly and you wouldn't even know that they have been abandoned for several years.

the textile factory was in a completely different state a few months ago. Local thieves and metal collectors seem to have had a lot to do with its condition. We even came across one such group during our exploration... Still, I'd say it's still a place that's definitely worth a visit.

The cantina for the foundry employees is located at the end of the site and is separated from the other part of the building, which is still in use and owned by another company, by only one door. Thanks to this, and to the camera that is pointed at the only possible entrance, the inside is virtually untouched. The technical condition of the building is not so good...

The foundry area is unfortunately already quite devastated, but it still has a lot to offer. Probably thanks to the fact that it is guarded not only by a watchman, but also by several cameras placed around the premises, there is a lot of original equipment left, so you really have a lot to explore.

Judging by the path in the snow, probably a very popular place

although the glory days of this location are probably over, it still has a lot to offer. We spent about an hour and a half inside, but there's definitely more to be had...

This former incinerator is probably the most interesting abandoned place in my area at the moment (at least of the ones I know about). Relatively well-preserved and undestroyed inside, it's just a shame that the local metal collectors have already made their way here. The interior spaces are rather chaotically filled with an endless maze of pipes, tanks, ladders and galleries, giving the building a unique atmosphere and giving the newcomer the opportunity to spend at least an hour crawling through several floors of galleries in both halls and adjacent rooms.
