Where to start on this place....

Ever since the first photos popped the scene of this place, I knew I had to visit here... It was on top of my wish list for so long, Back in Summer of 2013 I stood outside here, only to find out it had been locked down a few days prior, there was no way in to be had.

Couple externals from my first visit back in 2013

Fast forward 6 months, no one had explored the place, but a couple people started posting pics again, was it back on the scene again.. obviously it was, but entry was not quite permission, bit an arranged visit through third parties. I missed an opportunity to go earlier in 2014, I won't go into that, ehh MrB :rolleyes:

Part of the Jupilerrrrr tour with Baron and Mega Magpie Masa, it was arranged for us to pay it a visit in exchange for a few beer tokens. This was a once in a lifetime explore and sits proudly as one of the best places I have had the pleasure to visit and take photos. We were given about 6 hours inside, I could spend days in here, I hope I do the palace justice, it really is the Castle of Dreams.

BEWARE SERIOUSLY PIC HEAVY!!

First shot of the day, has to be massive marble staircase.

Being so dark, I decided to take a look in the basement area to grab a few pics before the decent light came up, the pics were always going to be light painted, so best get them out of the way first.

I would leave the ground floor till last, hoping the light would improve later in the day, so headed to the first floor.

Perseverance paid off mate, one of the ones I'd love to visit.

Excellent collection of pics, loving that marble staircase. Fuck going up the wooden hill when you have that!!
