Once the pride of Czech urban exploration, now just a run-down ruin. Photos from July 2025.

Photos from August 2025

Last year, I switched to Instagram. A few days ago, my account was permanently deleted because of a ban on another account. All the albums, followers, and connections I’d spent six months building were gone overnight… But there’s nothing I can do about it. For these reasons, I’m moving back here :D You can reach me here via messages or on Discord: @kubicek45.

Unguarded, relatively well-preserved engineering plant near the former industrial part of Ostrava. According to documents, abandoned around 1997.

Landek Park is undoubtedly one of the most interesting tourist destinations in Ostrava. That's why I thought I would not find anything abandoned here. Well... I was wrong. Probably the most interesting part is the former engine house of the adjacent Anselm mine. Built between 1907 and 1910, it was used to house a 2000 horsepower steam mining engine. It was scrapped in 1975. There are several other interesting features on the site. These include an old warehouse under the seating terrace or a large CO shelter hidden behind the old administration building, which now serves as a villa. The shelter was connected by a corridor directly from the building a few years ago, and after its demolition the entrance was free to enter for some time. Today, the entrance is now boarded up and the shelter is inaccessible.

We went to the site again because we didn't get to see everything we wanted to on our last visit. However, outside the winter months it is almost impossible to move around the site. The only unpaved path is the one used by the ranger. Almost nothing has changed since our last visit. The only new thing was a locked building with a lab and storage. I played around with the settings a bit and the photos are a bit sharper now and overall look nicer to me :)

Probably the most famous Ostrava Urbex, which unfortunately paid for its own fame. The Nuclear Research Centre in Vítkovice has been decaying almost since 2001. Officially, the "Pentagon" was closed in 2003 during the deleveraging process. The plan was to convert it into apartments, but it never happened. The entrance changes frequently and a police patrol passes by about every 10 minutes.

I've found almost no information on this building. The only thing I have been able to find out is that it may have been used as a substation or aid station.

It's a beautiful, warm spring Friday, and what better way to make the most of it than to go for an urbex? :D This building wasn't originally planned at all. We stumbled upon it by accident when another location didn't work out due to a homeless man just moving in and quietly smoking a cigarette by the window. We were surprised that this location was not at all run down or stolen due to its age and the length of time it has been abandoned. The cables in the substation are missing, but that's about it. The doors are in place, the windows have glass, and there are even circuit breakers still in the substation.

I decided to visit this location again. This time I took my friends with me, so it was more fun than if I had gone alone. The entrance to the building is very easy, but moving around inside unseen is almost impossible. Closed to the public in 2009.

Construction of the large-capacity calf house began in 1978 and was completed four years later in 1982. At that time it had a capacity of up to 1800 calves. The operation was closed in May 1992 due to restitution. -Municipal Chronicle

If anyone plans to go to this location, beware of the homeless on the second floor :D

The first written reference to the operation of a coke oven dates back to 1840. At that time, the furnace was operated by approximately 100 workers. During that time, the coke oven changed many owners. The last coke battery was shut down in 1997. After that year, the coking plant was closed down and the site has gradually deteriorated until today. (A little tip: there is a watchdog on site.)

Abandoned JZD in the Moravian-Silesian Region. There is also a version of the album from 2025 on my profile, so you can see how things have changed in four years. 😀
