These 15 Deserted Locations on Earth Will Astound You

On our world, there are locations that resemble scenes straight out of horror films. It's intriguing to observe how Mother Nature is reclaiming some objects and locations that were formerly a part of vibrant communities. That's just the way things are, I suppose, but at least some very amazing photos are included. View this incredible compilation of deserted locations from all across the world.

1. Namibia's Kolmanskop

One of the most well-known diamond mines in recent memory was located near Kolmanskop. This city saw an influx of German miners, leading to the construction of hospitals, schools, and the continent's first tram. The greatest diamond mine in history became open for grabs as the mine's resources ran out, so the miners and their families packed up and moved southward, close to the Orange River.

2. Australia's 102-Year-Old Floating Forest in Sydney

One of the few abandoned boats in Sydney's Homebush Bay is the SS Aryfield, which you can see in the photo. There formerly was a ship wrecking yard in the Bay where boats from all over the world came to be disassembled. The ships that remained were left to deteriorate when operations stopped. In essence, Homebush Bay has transformed into a floating naval cemetery.

3. The final home on America's Holland Island

A remote cottage on Holland Island narrates the story of a bloody conflict between man and environment. Constructed in 1888, the house exhibited remarkable resilience against erosion along Holland Island's beach for multiple decades. The rushing floods and poor soil had the final say and dragged the previous owner's house and land off Holland Island, despite his best attempts to save it.

4. Russia's Deserted Wooden Houses

Some of the most exquisite wooden homes ever constructed can be seen in Russia's forests. These awful projects are located in basically the middle of nowhere, Russia, thus they have stayed empty for years. For those willing to endure the bitterly cold sub-zero tundra, these buildings, still complete with elaborate fittings and deteriorating furnishings, have started to draw some attention from tourists.

5. China's Underwater City in Shicheng

The more than 1,300-year-old remnants of a vanished ancient metropolis are a man-made phenomenon that was created for the benefit of contemporary society, not a result of global warming. In order to meet the demands of the expanding population, the local administration decided in 1959 to build a new hydroelectric power station. After a dam was built, the roaring waters quickly engulfed Shicheng in more than a hundred feet of water.

6. The deserted City Hall subway station in New York, USA.

When City Hall Loop was opened in 1904, it was an opulent terminal that could accommodate about 600 passengers each day. After 40 years of operation, passenger traffic through this station was stopped because of New York's strong population growth. These days, the station is open only during very certain times of the year. was was once a well-liked location where residents and tourists could view the elaborate artwork from bygone eras, but in the middle of the 20th century was closed for security concerns.

7. Hotel Salto, in Colombia

Carlos Arturo Tapias, a well-known architect, constructed the Hotel del Salto in Bogota, Columbia, around the beginning of the 20th century. The wealthy, influential, and corrupt were billeted in one of the nation's most opulent hotels. Unfortunately, people's interest in visiting the hotel declined as a result of the growing pollution in the adjacent Bogota River, and the hotel was abandoned in the 1990s.

8. A closed Beelitz, Germany, military hospital

Hitler received medical attention in the now-abandoned Beelitz-Heilstätten after suffering wounds during World War I. When the war started, the hospital was transformed into a military hospital. Following the defeat of the Axis in World War II, it was regarded as the top hospital for treating tuberculosis and neurological problems.

9. Canada's Deserted Church in the Snow

The church has been abandoned for a while, although appearing to be operational from the exterior and in need of significant repairs. The church still has its chairs arranged in a beautiful row, a few bibles strewn about, and a perfectly good pulpit waiting for its priest to deliver the sermon on Sunday.

10. Japan's Hashima Island

Just one of the more than 500 deserted islands in the Nagasaki Prefecture is Hashima Island. Despite its history of forced slavery during World War 2, the island continues to stand as a symbol of Japan's industrialization. There was an underwater coal mine in the nation on the 6.3-hectare island. The island is now accessible to the public and visitors after numerous buildings were restored.

11. A deserted train station in Georgia's Abkhazia

Travelers from the nation heading to Russia were united by the ruins of this train station in Georgia. Since the 1992–1993 Abkhazian War, the 63–mile isolated railway has been abandoned. The station's interior still has some of its previous grandeur, despite obvious symptoms of deterioration.

                    12. The Haunting New Bedford Orpheum, U.S.A.

The Majestic Opera House was the original name of the Orpheum Theater. A lot of people believed that the fact that it started building on the day of the Titanic's sinking was a terrible omen. It was reserved for the most notable occasions in the northeastern US and had 1,500 seats at its height. In 1959, it closed its doors.

13. A Chinese fishing community on Gouqi Island

Gouqi Island is a small section of the Zhoushan Archipelago, one of the roughly 400 islands that make up the Shengi Islands. One of the biggest fishing communities in the Archipelago, it was sadly abandoned because of contaminated waters and a general lack of enthusiasm for the region's catch. It is still one of the Zhoushan Archipelago's best-preserved islands.

                 14. The Portuguese Town of Sintra's Initiation Wells

The Quinta de Regaleira estate is a historic site with remnants of a chapel, castle, and stunning stuccoes, but the two wells are the main draw for thousands of tourists each year. The wells together referred to as the "Initiation Wells" represented rebirth and death in symbolism. The nine circles of Paradise and Hell are represented by the well's spiral form.

                           15. Crystal, Colorado's Crystal Mill

Built as a powerhouse in the late 1800s, this historic mill was enormous. It could provide energy for miners working at numerous nearby silver mining areas because to its enormous horizontal waterwheel. The mill's demand diminished along with the silver rush, and in 1917 it was finally abandoned.
