The Abandoned Holiday Camp.

Located on the Belgian coast, very close to the North Sea, between the horrible concrete buildings, on can find this nice site built in 1950 by the Belgian architect henry Lacoste (1885-1968) in 1950.

This holiday residence was for the employees of RTT (now Belgacom), the main national telecommunication operator.

The demolition of the site was started, then one noticed (too late) that the architectural value of the building was not negligible.. The main façade is missing now (see image below).

This exploration is really interesting for some reasons: psychedelic colors (blue, rose, orange pastel are everywhere), architecture (nice massive staircases, archways). One can also find lot of painted tiles (see 360° view on the left), modern stained glass windows... Definitely worth a visit!
