Old Slaughterhouse in Gdańsk

The abandoned slaughterhouse, located in industrial part of Gdańsk old town, was built in the end of 19th century. The meat plant was prospering until the transformation in 1989, and since then the site goes to rack and ruin. On the slaughterhouse grounds, besides several actual abbatoir buildings, there are also 2 old granaries, and a burnt apartment house, the entire area is pretty vast and open. The impression is quite overwhelming and rather disturbing when you enter the spot for the first time, even on such a beautiful and sunny day, as the pictures show.
