Power Plant IM, Belgium
The Power Plant IM at Charleroi, which was first constructed in 1921, was formerly one of the biggest coal-burning power plants in Belgium; in its prime, its enormous cooling tower (shown) could cool 480,000 gallons of water per minute. However, with enormous power also comes great pollution, and this specific plant was in charge of 10% of all carbon dioxide emissions in the nation. In response to Greenpeace’s complaints, the facility was shut down in 2007. And even though the abandoned towers don’t produce any electricity anymore, they nonetheless offer a lot of hauntingly gorgeous views.

The Maunsell Sea Forts, England
Despite the fact that they resemble sets from an H.G. These enormous metal towers, which appeared in the Wells film adaption, were actually built to defend England from German air assaults during World War II. In the decades that followed, as the forts were deactivated in the 1950s, pirate radio operators made use of the abandoned towers. Today, the micronation Principality of Sealand is in charge of one of the neighboring forts; the other forts can be safely observed from a boat or, on a clear day, from the sands of Shoebury East Beach.
