Book excerpt: Built to last, built to impress, built with style - it is all the more remarkable when grand buildings fall into disrepair and ruination. The reasons for abandonement can be manifold, including political upheaval, economic downturns, shifting borders, changing tastes, natural and man-made disasters. From imperial residences and aristocratic estates to hotels and urban mansions, Abandoned Places tells, in 170 striking images, the stories of more than 130 palatial ruins from across the world.
