MIRANDA CASTLE, BELGIUM
Built in 1866, this fairytale-like structure in Belgium was intended to be a summer home, but the designer died before its completion in 1907. Afterwards, it was taken over by Nazis during World War II, served as a summer camp for 20 years, and was abandoned in 1991, because it was too costly to maintain.

SIX FLAGS, NEW ORLEANS
This theme park was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Murky water rose as high as six feet and salt water damaged 80 percent of the rides. What was left behind was a strangely beautiful monument to the vibrant city once nearly destroyed by tragedy. However, the city has plans to replace the remains with a new amusement park.
