There are so many incredible feats of architecture all around the world that it is so much fun to travel all over in order to see as many of them as possible.

What exactly happens to places that have become abandoned? There are a lot of places that have been left behind around the world, but that just adds to their interest and creates an air of intrigue when you go to see them. Here are some of the most hauntingly beautiful abandoned places from around the world.
Rakotzbrücke Devil’s Bridge
Rakotzbrücke Devil’s Bridge is located in Gablenz, Germany, and dates all the way back to the 19th century. The most beautiful feature of this bride is that with the right weather and lighting, it can form a perfect circle when reflected on the water. This is a perfect spot for photographers, painters, and anyone who is looking to see a beautiful view.
McDermott’s Castle
McDermott’s Castle was built in 1184 on Castle Island, which is a small island found in Lough Key, Ireland. The castle was built by the Mac Diarmada dynasty, but was sadly ruined by a fire that was ignited by lighting striking the fortress. It was rebuilt in 1235, and in 2018, it went up for sale for about $100,000. However, it was not sold and was returned to private Irish ownership.
