On 25-07-2009 we finally went back urbexing, my partner Vinnie needed to take a holiday so I didn’t urbex for like four or five weeks.
We went to this Crypt somewhere below Brussels, the oldest grave was from 1878 and it was a really strange place to be. I have shot many pictures there but here are my first, I will update the picture later on
Sinai Centrum

In 1958 this psychiatric hospital was build in Amersfoort. Because this was the only Jewish hospital in Europe there were many foreign patients treated in this hospital. In 1968 a children’s wing was added to the building.
Beside the hospital we found also a swimmingpool and a gym on this location
In the end of 2007 the hospital moved to Amstelveen, the old hospital becamea abandoned but it got very vandalized by local the local youth, now the building is taken over by squatters but the demolishing is planned for 11-2009
Cinema-theatre Varia

A while ago I visited this location with Vinnie, its a beautiful theatre in Belgium, it was one of the hardest places to enter, but that was mainly because of the situation where its located.
Some info:
The Cinema-Theatre Varia was built in 1913 and designed by architect E. Claes.
Closed in 1986, the particular facade and roof structure were listed as historic monument in 1992.
Renovation started end of 2004 but was recently cancelled by lack of funds.
