Exploring the abandoned ex-Soviet Barracks of Pilisszántó is an experience like no other. As an urban exploration group, we were thrilled to discover this hidden gem, tucked away in the Hungarian countryside, in the mountains of Pilis, near to the main road going up to Dobogókő.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a series of greenish-painted empty rooms, and some of them had a single chair placed in the middle. The eerie atmosphere was only intensified by the Cyrillic writings painted on the green walls, adding to the sense of mystery surrounding the barracks.

Unfortunately, we were unable to find any information about the history of this place. We are unsure of what purpose these barracks served during their time of operation and why and when they were used by the Russian forces and then probably the Hungarian military. However, this only adds to the allure of this location, as it leaves so much to the imagination.

As we explored the barracks, we couldn’t help but wonder about the stories and secrets this place holds. Who lived and stayed here? What were their lives like? What were the large warehouses used for? What is the military stored here?  These are just a few of the many questions that come to mind when visiting this location.

For any urban exploration enthusiasts, the abandoned ex-Soviet Barracks of Pilisszántó is definitely worth a visit. The eerie atmosphere and lack of information only add to the intrigue and make for a truly unique experience. If anyone knows more about the history of this place, we would love to hear from you.

LOCATION

Finding and locating Urbex sites is a time-consuming task or we can call it a hobby.

First, try Google Search Google Maps, a good search can do miracles 😉

But with the help of Google maps and Bing maps, google search urbex-related webpages, and delving into the comments of open/closed Facebook groups with abandoned topics, you can find almost every location if you really want it. That’s how we’ve made a Google Urbex World Map digging deep into the Internet, so now we have thousands of amazing new places to discover, only time and money limit us. If you are also an Urbex photographer, or if you have an Urbex Vlog/Blog please contact us, we are ready to share or change locations if we are sure you are a trusted Urbexer/Friend, not a metal dealer/thief or a destructive barbarian vandal.

We strictly condemn all forms of destruction of deserted places and damaging abandoned sites. We take nothing away, we do not move anything, don’t break locks, don’t break windows. Take photos, leave just footprints.

Please support us on Patreon, so with this support, we can visit better and better-abandoned places all over the world. You will be able to get the newest blog posts and pictures weeks before they will be published here and on our Facebook page. Also, we are doing live chat sessions with our supporters, so you can hear really interesting stories about how we find a hidden location, hor how is it possible to enter a place or how can we survive when we are cathed by security. This behind the scene information is only for the supporting Patreon users. Also, you will be the first to be able to buy a cheaper price for our future printed Urbex photo albums, so early heads up on any new print products just for you.

Maintaining a site like this, with a Facebook page with daily posts needs a lot of time and effort. We created this Club to share our adventures and photos with the world, to keep the memory of these abandoned buildings which might even disappear in the near future forever. Our hope is that visitors enjoy their time here and think about the past, and the stories behind the pictures, and maybe we will encourage someone to buy and restore a site.

If you don’t have enough money to support us on Patreon, there is another way: follow us on FacebookLike and Comment frequently – we love interacting with people who like the topic, tell your friends/family/colleagues about our pages, share a link to our website with them so they can take a look, or share re-tweet our social media posts so that other interested people you know might see something they like!

We appreciate your feedback!
