Doel Belgium

The  Abandoned  nuclear  ghost  town

Doel, a 400-year-old village north-west of Antwerp, Belgium.  A surreal place,  strewn with hundreds of abandoned buildings, including schools, petrol stations and a now-silent town hall. The constant hum of high-voltage power lines intensifies the post-apocalyptic atmosphere  while towering in the background are the giant smoke-billowing cooling towers of Belgium's first commercial nuclear-power station.  In the streets, row upon row of vacant and abandoned houses are now covered in eye-poppingly colourful doodles or large murals by street artists. This is Doel, the abandoned Nuclear ghost town.
