Prinkipo Greek Orphanage

Istanbul · Tyrkiet · Abandoned site

The colossal timber structure on Buyukada's highest hill was built in 1898 as a luxury hotel but instead became a Greek Orthodox orphanage, until it closed in 1964. Since then the giant building — the largest wooden structure in Europe — has slowly crumbled behind the trees. Islanders and night-time visitors tell of children's laughter, sobbing and running footsteps from the ruin, and of voices rising from the old well in the yard; many avoid the place after dark. Derelict and fenced off today, the orphanage remains the most talked-about haunted spot on the Princes' Islands.
