Abandoned Mansions & Castles Around The World
When we hear the word "Mansion or Castle", thoughts of beautiful buildings pop up along with real rich men living in one of them. However, it is not a happy scene all the time.
In this article, we are here to share about some of the most beautiful mansions and castles that are left abandoned.
When you have a peek at these mansions and castles, it gives you an idea of how lavish and beautiful the life of these people was. This also reminds us that nothing is permanent in life.
These are the crumbling mansions that stood high once upon a time and people envied to see such a beautiful mansion rise. Now, they are left to dust and are hosts for insects and nothing more.
So, find out about these beautiful monuments that are left abandoned by people who once lived here happily.
Pidhirtsi Castle, Pidhirtsi, Ukraine
This castle was built between 1635 and 1640. It was well furnished during World War I; however, sadly, the Russian soldiers destroyed the interiors of the house. Later, as years passed by, this mansion was converted as a "Tuberculosis sanitarium". But again, unfortunately, it caught fire and the building got burnt for 3 long weeks. The Lviv Gallery of Arts has been trying to restore the building but not much has happened since then.

This was built as a luxury hotel in 1890, but was closed in 1901. After a few years, the Bennett School for Girls moved in, making the building a home school for kids from prominent families. However, the school failed to thrive for long and thus went bankrupt leading it to be abandoned.
