The Bela Kiss Villa—One of the Most Beautiful Abandoned Houses in Paris
Bela Kiss House @Alexandrebailey
But why was such a magnificent home, not far from Paris, abandoned? That’s what you might wonder when you see this majestic building. Some say that a family was forced to leave the house following the tragic death of one of the daughters
. Others say that a dark story involving an inheritance
may have torn apart a family of Armenian jewelers… In any case, a particularly mysterious atmosphere
reigns over these grounds. While the property now has a new owner, just a few years ago it was still a very popular Urbex spot. A must-see during Halloween or El Día de los Muertos
.

The Pavlovich Mansion—A House Haunted by a Tragic Fate
Haunted House in Paris – Pavlovich
Manor
This manor has had a serious reputation as a haunted place for over 10 years
. And for good reason: its history, as sordid as it is unbelievable, is enough to make your blood run cold. It is said that the wife of the former owner died in excruciating pain
following a terrible car accident. Her husband, though a doctor, was unable to do anything to save her. Others claim that the woman did indeed survive, but her face was so completely disfigured that it reportedly drove her husband away in fear… Alone and abandoned, she eventually let herself die in her mansion
. In any case, the owners of this estate have never stayed very long. Strange noises and supernatural occurrences
are said to have taken place… A true Halloween setting.

The Domain of the Three Columns—A magnificent estate haunted by a dark history
Domaine des Trois Colonnes @urbexsession
This Anglo-Norman-style mansion, nestled in the village of Angevilliers, was a stunning three-story residence. But it witnessed horrors during World War II
… One of the families who lived there, of Jewish descent, was struck by an unprecedented tragedy: the husband, seeing the Nazis approaching, took his own life
. The wife, for her part, was deported to Auschwitz, never to be seen again
. Since then, the house has had another owner before eventually falling into ruin…

The Castle of Solitude—A gloomy place in the heart of a forest near Paris
The Château de la Solitude—One of the Haunted and Abandoned Houses @urbexconnection
Its very name evokes the greatest horror tales
. And yet, the Château de la Solitude has had a fate quite different from what one might expect. Originally owned by a wealthy Parisian chocolatier, it was later converted into a convent during World War I before becoming a shelter and training center for young single mothers. Two fires destroyed its roof, giving it an even more eerie appearance
… No one knows if ghosts roam there, but just to be safe, it’s best to avoid it.
