Hi all! Just some pics to share. The building is very old (built in 1800's), entry is prohibited due to its current state (it's not fun to get a bashed head from a falling adobe). The place is sealed but there are guards inside and some really angry dogs. I only managed to circle it and take a peek in its open but grilled windows.

Enjoy but please bear with my shots. Thank you.

If you want to read more about it, here's a good link...

The building must be magnificent during its prime.

^Thank you sir. I always thought pics from my side of the globe go unnoticed since this is a highly European site.
 
We love all things derelict.Obviously there will be a predominanace of european sites but if you have more of what you have posted,I for one look forward to seeing them.You can actually learn a lot by using forums like this one.There are many places I have seen reported here that I have never heard of and of late there has been many reports from Berlin on sites unknown to me.All part of lifes rich tapestry I guess.
 
^Of course, I'm going to post some more locations. I'll try to somehow contribute to the site. But security around here is tough. One wrong move and you're gonna get blasted by shotgun wielding trigger happy security. I guess next time I explore I'd wear my tux so I won't be mistaken for a thief lol.
 
@ALL

Thanks for the 'thanks' given and for liking my shots, but I need to improve on it more because it's really a pain after you've visited a site and upload your pics to a PC then see the god damn thing appear the way you don't want them to be. Like, why am I at this point when I took the shot?! Why didn't I (did I) include this part on the frame?! Why did I shot this at a weird angle (see peeping through the bars) and so on!

That's all part of the learning process, at least you actually notice and acknowledge these things so you can improve. Don't beat yourself up about it. :)
