The lime stone quarry
Posted: 13th July 2010 by Photoco in urbexTags: abandoned, Belgium, decay, industrial, limestone, lost, Netherlands, quarry, underground, urbex
This limestone quarry has lots of tunnels and systems from 75km to 200km in lenght.
entering a location like this is dangerous without knowledge of the system, dont enter without someone who has the knowledge of these tunnels. the last century’s several people have died due collapsing earthpipes.
entering from 34c outside to 11c inside.
when walking in this quarry various 14th and 15th century paintings are visible on the walls and ceilings, like warnings with hanged people, dragon fights and selling the souls to the evil.
I realy go back here sometime and take more time to photograph the inscriptions and paintings.

The House of Correction was opened in 1779.
“Tuchthuis” or in other words “the correction”
dating from 1800 the buildings have a vibrant history behind it,
it served as a “jail” or “prison” for criminals, prostitutes and deserters.
The prisoners learned a profession or worked over here (12hours a day, in cells from 1,77 by 2,00 meters)
in 1805 there where more than 2200 prisoners.
this prison is also quite unique due the old graffity dating back to 18th century (photo on this site shows an old “dierenriem” or zodiac)
In this prison there was a production of wool, cotton, hemp and glass used for sale on the market.
The buildings also housed mental/psychic people and also a millitair hospital.
After 1920 the “correction” became property of the Belgium army and was used as a trainings center for transmissie troops.
the army left the building in 1974 and in 1981 the city purchased the complex to house several city service’sThe whole area surrounding the complex is rebuilt with a completely renovated House of Correction as a central theme.
