Here in México city there's the hotel "Posada del Sol" an eccentric hotel that became abandoned in the 40s, later during the 1968 college student protests, it was used by the police as an improvised safe house, where a number of students were "interrogated" and... disposed off. It's unown how many students lost their lifes there because the official numbers have never been made public.

[@thelightbulbguys]

I'm sorry?Why were they?

[@SgtMantis]

The Willard Asylum is within the footprint of the state regulatory body I'm employed by. Every two years I need to walk through all parts of the buildings and inspect certain infrastructure. I don't enter the parts that are unstable. However I look through the windows now and then. The buildings falling in are full of asbestos, and can't be disturbed unless they fall into their own basements. Then in theory, ground water would douse the asbestos making it safe to excavate. I've been in a house with a cage in the corner of the basement, and the house rumored to be where a man kept his daughter in a small cage in the attic for almost a decade. The buildings falling in are full of beautiful old granite bath fixtures and tile work. It's beautiful. Also dark.

[@smalachit1571]

this may be a really stupid question, but how does groundwater make asbestos safe? Because it's wet and can't spread it's dust when wet?

[@SgtMantis]

@@smalachit1571 it's a nut roll of legislation and liabilities. Basically what you said. They don't want to spend the millions it would cost to properly clean and dispose of it, so they allow the building to naturally fall into its own foundation. If ground water doesn't fill it in, they'll actually bring in water tankers and flood it before hauling it away. Keeps the fibers from floating on the air.

I honestly think it's a good thing, otherwise it would just be another monument to the fact that the voices of children will never be heard. They will forever be considered subhuman until adulthood when honestly they are so much more intelligent than we give them credit for. It is that intelligence and their lack of experience that puts them in the greatest of dangers. They should definitely be taken more seriously.

[@Belboz99]

I believe my Great-Great-Grandmother is burried at Willards. She's not burried with her husband, 9 children, sons-in-law, etc in NYC. However, there's a woman by the same name, born in the same place (Hanover) and with the same number of children born and living (9 and 2) residing at Willards during the US 1900 census and the NYC 1905 census. NY "owns" their records though. There's little hope of finding out for sure. :(

One of my first thoughts when seeing abandoned properties like those featured in this video is: Wow, that would make for such a cool residence (either for a single person or, for many of the large properties, condominiums - perhaps with several businesses).

[@rubiconnn]

The cost to renovate it is usually way more expensive than just tearing it down and rebuilding it.

[@geekishgir]

OMG, Willard! I did my nursing training in upstate NY and Willard was our psych rotation. Incredible estate that used to scare the crap out of me driving in, it really was creepy af. Straight out of a horror movie. I had a chance to explore the deserted buildings and it was really unsettling. Some of them were beautiful architecture. Didn't know it had been abandoned. It was a sad facility, the staff knew they were just caretakers, no one was going anywhere, and some of the patients were some of the most fascinating experience of a mind gone wrong. I've never forgot Willard

[@RobVespa]

Regarding visiting Chernobyl: It's unfortunately easy to do so. It's an issue. Not only are people profiting from disaster - The tourist hot spot (pardon the pun) isn't managed or regulated. While there, people are competing to win the Darwin Awards, vandalizing the area, disturbing the ecosystem, and stealing items, which put themselves (it's hard to feel sympathy) and others at risk. The area should remain closed off except for scientists. As an aside, Kyle Hill recently produced several videos on the topic that may be of interest.

[@LisaBowers]

I love Kyle Hill's half life series!

@@pugachevskobra5636 Very grim indeed. I could not believe that Instagram model pulled her protective garment down to her waist in order to pose topless at Chernobyl.

Modern inhabitants of Chernobyl were Ruzki infantry in early ‘22. They were ordered to dig deep trenches in Chernobyl’s radioactive soil; sleeping in the trenches until they retreated. Many soldiers became ill or died. The contaminated soil traveled w/them on kit & shoes, and ended up spread across the Federation. ☢️

[@littlerave86]

I've been to the Isla de las Muñecas a couple years ago. One of the most interesting experiences I've ever made. Highly recommend it ... well, unless you have arachnophobia. Place is teeming with spiders more so than dolls - and the dolls are everywhere.

[@wonky_shoebox7514]

Dolls freak me out. My nan used to give me and my female cousins porcelain dolls every Christmas as a present. Only one didn't scare me and its the only one I kept, as a reminder of my nan. I absolutely loved her, she was a real lady who made the nest cakes and jams

[@littlerave86]

​@@wonky_shoebox7514 The vast majority of dolls there are plastic dolls and plushy toys, barbies and such - the man only died in 2001. Porcelain dolls were, at best, only sprinkled throughout, but I don't really recall any. The majority of them are broken and covered in nature, spider webs, dirt, lichens and such, they're also draped all around on strings. The tours through the channels of Xochimilco, which include the island, end up there after dark but since you're there with your group (and probably other groups as well), there's enough chatter and the guides telling the story, to not be all too creepy. Then again, I'm not easily scared, so who am I to judge. You could take one of the other tours to see some of the channels' nature, axolotl conservation stations and such, they've provided us with snacks and pulque (which is an alcoholic beverage from agave, a bit reminiscent of a milkshake) and they're telling local stories like the one of la Llorona (though in my case, it was all in Spanish, not sure if they have English tours). It's absolutely worth it, with or without the island, but I'd still say you'd be missing out.

[@wonky_shoebox7514]

@@littlerave86 I love axolotls for their sheer weirdness alone. Will always be creeped out by porcelain dolls though, except for the aforementioned miniature one. I'm usually not easily creeped out either except for heights

When I went to Luang Prabang, Laos, in 2001 I stopped in the Royal Funeral Chapel on the grounds of Wat Xing Tong. That was where the funeral carriage for the king was kept before the Communists took over. It was weird. A lot of royal regalia was just sitting on shelves or crammed into old cabinets, like some kind of royal garage sale. When I went back 10 years later it had been cleaned up and looked more like a museum.

[@kortanioslastofhisname]

The section on Beelitz-Heilstätten was already quite out of date when the video was released... Since it has a functioning railway station and is in commuting distance to Berlin, large pars of the complex are being renovated and new houses in the local style and a contemporary take on the existing buildings' architecture are being added to create a full new suburb in the middle of the Brandenburgian forest here (European-style suburb, so a mix of single and multi-family houses, and mid-rise apartment buildings with cafes, shops, a kindergarten, some offices etc. all in walking distance of the railway station). Around half a billion Euros are being invested. Many of the Buildings have already or are currently being renovated. The neurological clinic is also investing €120 million to expand. As far as I could find online, around at least 3/4 of the complex will not be a lost place anymore by the mid to late 2020s.

6:46 According to Star Trek: Picard Season 2, the same thing happened to Chateau Picard: the Picard family fled to Britain during WWII, the property was used by the Nazis, & then it was uninhabited until Jean Luc & Robert returned with their parents (of course, the Picard family contracted other people to tend the vineyards in their absence).

It’s heartbreaking to see architectural pearls like Chateau Miranda/Noisy to be destroyed, when we live in an age, in which architects seem to be incapable of planning homes as beautiful as this and can only create ugly cubic cheap glass aquariums with metal bars and concrete and call it a masterpiece. If we can’t create new actually good looking buildings, we shouldn’t destroy already existing ones. The least they could have done is keep the castle where it was, ignoring the fact, that it would have made a lot of money, if it was renovated as some sort of tourist attraction, but tearing such an architectural beauty down for no reason is just pure evil, I don’t care what anybody says. Regardless of the building’s history, the reason for which it was built (which wasn’t even that harmful to begin with) or the placement, this architectural pearl did not deserve to be torn down. What are we destroying next? Neuschwanstein Castle? Herrenchiemsee Castle? Linderhof Castle? Bucharest’s People’s House? Regardless of the historical context or reasoning, architecture is timeless and breaks the borders of politics. Period.

Very, very strong wood - but sadly still very flammable :(

[@sanjurohanamizuki6181]

Fire was a way of dealing with Keeps and Castles if one wanted or needed to end a siege in short order but didn't want to leave a usable structure for their enemy , or waste 2/3 of their forces in a hasty attempt to capture it . Also , that building is not a castle , the features that resemble a castle are purely aesthetic . A rule of thumb for knowing if a place was built with defense in mind is the size of the windows , castles have windows that are smaller the closer to ground level that you get . You could drive a bus through the ground level windows of that building .
