EUROPE: The main entrance hall in an Chateau which was abandoned almost 20 years ago by the former owner of a local factory. The owner had to move out of his grand home after his business failed. ABANDONED yet extravagant homes of the elite families of Europe have been snapped in their current state of decay. Pictures show extravagant abodes that were once home to the wealthy and powerful families of Europe, now in dangerous states of ruin. Crumbling chateaus and elegant villas in decline give a glimpse into the history of the now empty and haunting residences. Youth worker Stefan Baumann (34


EUROPE: The main entrance hall in an Chateau which was abandoned almost 20 years ago by the former owner of a local factory. The owner had to move out of his grand home after his business failed. ABANDONED yet extravagant homes of the elite families of Europe have been snapped in their current state of decay. Pictures show extravagant abodes that were once home to the wealthy and powerful families of Europe, now in dangerous states of ruin. Crumbling chateaus and elegant villas in decline give a glimpse into the history of the now empty and haunting residences. Youth worker Stefan Baumann (34) from Austria snapped these former great structures at various locations throughout Europe.
