A huge abandoned former hospital, somewhere in France 🇫🇷

This impressive building began as a seminary in the 1820s and later treated more than 8000 Belgian soldiers during the First World War. It also sheltered local families during the heavy bombing of the Second World War. The site then operated as a retirement home for ex-servicemen until its closure around the start of the 21st century.
