Unfortunately all the furniture and belongings were taken away. just enjoy the architecture

Kurchatov is a town located in eastern Kazakhstan, in the infamous Semipalatinsk Polygon, which was the main USSR nuclear weapons testing area. The town is named after the Soviet nuclear physicist Igor Kurchatov, the "father of the Russian atomic bomb".
Today, large parts of the town are abandoned, while other parts are still inhabited. Here are a few pics of the abandoned parts taken in July 2026.

A video I made, with more views of Kurchatov, as well as views of Chagan (a nearby ghost town) and of the infamous "atomic lake" created by a nuclear test : https://youtu.be/8bGjklXiHHE

Getting this photo of an abandoned swing ride in an old amusement park with my friend Frank resulted in two poison ivy rashes and some kind of spider bite on my inner bicep that won't go away!

i explored Dolphin Marina hotel when i was in Bulgaria this year since i was re-visiting another hotel that is still functional, and i stumbled upon Dolphin Marina hotel, which i genuinely forgot existed since i went to Ensana hotel 2 years ago and this year and 2 years ago i saw Dolphin Marina and thought it was an abandoned school. i filmed a video of it and i have some photos, but that is the only video of Dolphin Marina abandoned state on the whole wide internet that i know. i will look on 4Chan for its functional state and functional insides, and ill keep yall updated. i will post some photos on my next post since "this community doesnt allow videos"

I want to start urbexing, can anyone tell me some bare minimum essentials to begin?

Went here last year after reading about it on the Weird NJ magazine, it's a seating area and old firepit way off the path of a mountain trail with unknown origins (I believe it's been around since the 80s). Sitting on the rocks isn't very comfortable, and it being so well-maintained gave it a surreal vibe to me. Cool little spot!

I recently explored these track-construction railcars; unfortunately, much of what was there has already fallen victim to vandalism. Even so, it was a very interesting experience.

Since I don’t have much expertise in this field, I can’t provide specific details about the railcars—those of you with a background in railroading could surely say more.

ATTENTION: This large site is fully operational and serves as a storage area; only the specific trains or railcars themselves are abandoned. After about two hours, a worker suddenly appeared on the premises, so I left immediately to avoid any confrontation.

The site belongs to a large, well-known track-construction company.

Entering railway premises is illegal and dangerous!

Hidden away in a small village, this place is unfortunately completely empty… but it still has a stunning staircase and some rooms featuring incredible paintings! 🏚️🎨

Gothic Revival House

Are you interested in a video walkthrough? If so, you can find it here:

This Gothic-Revival style house was built in the mid 1800s. It's constructed with cut stone but one of its most prominent features are the front facing triangular dormers. It has decorative bargeboard as well as an upward and downward facing finial within the gable. The inside of the home is well preserved too, with many of the original architectural elements left intact.

The home has been abandoned for a few years and is currently owned by a development company. Fortunately, because of its prominent historical elements and its history in relation to the area, the home is protected and will most likely be preserved.

This one-and-a-half-storey brick farmhouse was built in the mid-1870s and expanded in the early 1880s. The land around it was expropriated by the province in the 1970s for a planned city that took decades to arrive. Now the subdivisions are going up, and almost every old farmhouse nearby has been cleared.

This one got a heritage designation in 2018, so it’s still there, boarded up and waiting.

Some details I loved:

• Buff-brick patterns on red brick: quoins, arched window heads, and a checkerboard pinwheel under the front peak
• Carved bargeboard with ball-and-drop pendants on every gable
• A fretwork verandah and a bay window with three round-arched windows
• Two front doors, likely because two families or two generations shared the house

I am relatively new to urbexing and Ive been having some trouble finding spots to explore. I’ve explored a few awesome places and im curious to find more. If anyone has any spots in or near the twin cities (Minnesota) please dm me it would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Another throwback this morning, tonight I'll have something new and fresh for you!

Inside this abandoned house time just stopped. Every photo in this set tells a different story , from creepy old dolls staring blankly into space, to a dusty Mogwai from Gremlins on the kitchen floor..

There’s even a shelf in the kitchen full of mystery cans with the labels ripped off, and a worn-out WWF wrestling magazine with Hacksaw Jim Duggan on the cover.
