the doctor's house


I've never been much of an art fanatic, at least when it comes to paintings and even some photographs. Personally, I'd much rather visit places and and see things with my own eyes. However, I will admit that photography is an amazing hobby that is a special way of preserving memories. And sometimes, I can't help but fall in love with a photograph series.

I found these photographs while just surfing the web and I absolutely fell in love with them. They are so heavy and haunting and the story behind it is quite mysterious.

These images were taken by photographer Daniel Marbaix and are from an abandoned doctor's house somewhere in Germany. Looking at them, there is such a curiosity that arises even if the the backstory is somewhat known. According to Daniel Marbaix, most of the occupants died in a vehicle accident. Head stones were found for them in the house.

The once-impressive house is sadly --and badly-- run down but a lot of the rooms still have gorgeous furniture and features left behind by the previous owners. The house is a mess and apparently quickly abandoned, indicating a sudden getaway by the inhabitants. It has been left abandoned for at least twenty years.

Who were the owners of this beautiful mansion? Why did they runaway so quickly that they didn't even have time to pack a suitcase? What happened to them?

Thankfully, the large amount of furniture and items left in the home gives us a few clues as to who the owners were and what kind of life they lived.
