In France, there’s an abandoned chateau known as the Chateau des Singes, or the Castle of Monkeys. It’s filled with fascinating spaces, including a room filled with murals of monkeys (according to the urban exploration site Behind Closed Doors — which also has a bunch of great photos of this location too) and beautiful stairways.

Note: If you missed last month’s post, many of these photos are taken by LulaTaHula, one of the talented photographers who also took the images shared of Beelitz-Heilstätten Hospital.

I hope you enjoyed this month’s post on abandoned buildings and the photos of Chateau des Singes!


Note:

I love abandoned building photography. By saying this and posting these pictures, I am not, however, condoning ANY of the following:

  • Breaking and entering
  • Vandalism
  • Risking your life

Photographers should always get permission from building owners to enter any property. Also, vandalism isn’t cool. Respect the property. And these places can be dangerous. Don’t risk your life for a photo. It’s just not worth it.
