I have to admit that I don't know much about this abandoned building that is situated along the walking lane in Mostar. But I was informed that it belogned to the University of Mostar, and that it housed a library inside. This Friday's theme is old buildings, and I think that this qualifies as one of them. It shows the classic structures of Austro-Hungarian architecture.

Amazing structure. I wonder what it was? Sad to see it go to ruin.
ReplyDeleteIt belogned to the University of Mostar.
DeleteI hope someone will restore it. I really like it even in the condition it is in. as always your photos are fantastic...
ReplyDeleteI really hope someone does that soon.
DeleteYou chose the perfect lighting situation for these images. The dark sky gives a haunting look to the ruins.
ReplyDeleteI love to explore old buildings. If only they could talk.....+
ReplyDeleteWow, was für ein Gebäude!?!? Dein zweites Foto ist einfach gigantisch! Schönes WE! LG
ReplyDeleteDanke Flögi, wünsche ich Dir auch!
DeleteAh, yes! I love old buildings, too, and do wish they could talk and share their history! Love your lighting and superb captures they are, as always, Mersad! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sylvia. I'm sure this one would have a lot to say!
DeleteLove the light in which you caught the remnant of what once was a grand building!
ReplyDeleteI spy a restored building in the background, probably had luckier stars than the abandoned one.
Perfect shots for a haunted house!
ReplyDeletemakes a neat, creepy image!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Great decay shots.
ReplyDeleteOoh, you created a really good spooky atmosphere there! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis building looks ancient, almost like a movie set. Now you need to write a scary story to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteIt would be lovely with a new coat of paint and some restoration. It looks very sturdy.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it is very sturdy.
DeleteVery haunting and slightly spooky! I would love to see the inside one day!
ReplyDeleteThis is sad. It has been neglected for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteIt really has been, and it doesn't need to be. It could be restored and renovated rather quickly.
Deletethat is a very creepy looking building.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pity that a fine building was allowed to deteriorate.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you completely.
Deleteoh wow! very scary to me. too bad it has been let go for so long.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous night shots!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to explore this oldie - but not at night. Great lighting on this, Mersad.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images..
ReplyDeleteyou gave this old building life.
I loved your post on the FSO page but this building tells us so much more. what we are willing to let go possibly tells us more that what we preserve of our history. Maybe it is too far gone to save but it was once a truly beautiful space.
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic photos. I bet this building would be fabulous if it was restored.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a beautiful building! Even in its ruined state, so majestic! Wanted to tell you I googled the school building and because the architecture was so interesting, used one of the internet pictures to pin it to my Pinterest board "Architecture." I wouldn't have known about it, except for your wonderful blog!
