Hidden behind closed shutters and beneath years of decay, lies a place frozen in time. Once filled with life and purpose, this abandoned house in a bustling Belgian city, with an adjoining optician store, now sits in eerie silence—waiting to be uncovered.
The once-bright lenses that sharpened the visions of so many now gather dust, their clarity dulled by time. It’s almost ironic—this was a place meant to restore sight, and yet, its own story has been left unseen, veiled in mystery and neglect.
This house, abandoned since 2012, is more than just a home; it’s a time capsule of Robert and Jacqueline, the couple who built their lives within these walls. Robert passed away in 2007, leaving Jacqueline to live here alone for five more years. When she too passed, the house was locked away, untouched. Plans for demolition began in 2021, but as the walls still stand, so do the unanswered questions.
Inside, the decay tells one story, but the remnants tell another: photographs capturing fleeting moments of happiness, priceless antiques are left forgotten, and even Jacqueline’s bank cards scattered as if she might return. Every room feels like a fragment of their lives, yet louder still is the question—did they leave behind anyone to remember them? If they had children, where are they now, as the bulldozers loom closer?
Today, I step into their world to uncover the fragments they left behind, to piece together a puzzle before it’s lost forever. This is a story of time, memory, and loss—a story on the brink of being forgotten. Follow me as I delve into this enigmatic house and the secrets it holds.
