Went out with urbex photographer friends to the Tuchthuis Vilvoorde. That made a huge impression on me. The photos's in this series are by me.
Something about this unique location (source Wikipedia):
The Tuchthuis in Vilvoorde (popularly known as the Korrektie) is a former prison complex in the city of Vilvoorde. Built at the end of the eighteenth century, the Tuchthuis was at the time the second 'modern' prison in the Southern Netherlands. The Tuchthuis is located east of the Brussels-Scheldt Canal and just south of the city centre.
Description
The original complex was built in an austere classicist style. On the eastern side is a gatehouse. A linden lane in line with this gatehouse gives access to the former courtyard of honour, bordered on either side by the two angled additions from the second half of the nineteenth century; in the axis of the lane is the main entrance, in the middle of the remaining eastern main wing. The cells located on the outside are very small (1.8 m x 1.2 m) and covered with a barrel vault at right angles to the barrel vault of the corridor; they are closed by heavy oak doors fitted with a sliding lock and a spy hole. On each of the two floors of cells, there is one high workroom with barrel vault on the courtyard side.
