Fort de la Chartreuse
Fort de la Chartreuse is a former military base that was built between 1817 and 1823 to defend the city. It has quite an interesting history - after the military stopped using it as a fortification in 1891 it became barracks. Then from 1914 to 1918 and 1940 -1944 the Germans used it as a prison. In 1944-1945 it was used by the Americans as a military hospital. The Belgian army officially left the site in 1988. It's been sitting abandoned ever since then, slowly being taken back over by nature. (Liège, Belgium)
