Špicer Family Palace is located in Beočin, Serbia. It was built in 1898, by wealthy german family. Layout for the building was made by arhitect Steindl Imre (his most famous building is Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest).
Family left Beočin before second world war, and until the end of the war it was used as a building of German command. After the war it was nationalised and used as a library (think this was the best idea for it, it must have looked great), cultural home, radio station and in the end as a restaurant. It is not in use from 1988 but in the last 10 years it is just falling apart.
In 1997 it was declared as cultural monument but nothing was done with it.
All the windows and doors are gone, it looks like the roof fell apart but they made a quick fix on it, does not look great but at least it is dry. Few years ago a german businessman was interested to buy it, but something went wrong and unfortunately did not happen.
I went here with some friends on a scouting mission :D to see is it good for some kind of interesting portrait sessions. Most of my scouting missions end up being just that, but i hope that i will come back there with some interesting idea, because the place is great for a photoshoot.
it could be a horror scene
Colors are really interesting, and the textures are great.
It was used for few movies, and maybe most famous is Kelly's Heroes with Clint Eastwood made 1970. Here are some clips so you can see how the palace looked back in the days.
Here is a short video of how it looks now:
wowwww .. that was awesome abandon building
pity it is just falling apart :(
Ikr . This place gonna be awesome place if the authority help to rebuild it .
holy shit this is in ruins but still looks beautiful ㅇ_ㅇ
way more beautiful than most buildings i see in my city
sad thing is that there is quite few of this kind of buildings in this condition.

so government just keeps them that way?
government does not have the money and as it was nationalised after ww2 there is a possibility that it should be given back to the original owner that lived here 80 years ago... a bit complicated and no one is really trying to deal with it.

Oh my! It definitely needs some tender loving care! What an incredible place. It is sad that no one is restoring it! Great photos-- those windows are amazing! !tip
thanks.
nationalisation did nothing good for this kind of places. state has no money for fixing it and it is hard to sell it as ownership is a bit scatchy

Samo da sednes i places :( Mislim psovala bih najradije..
Da je u nekoj drugoj zemlji bilo bi sredjeno i naplacivali bi masan ulaz..
nazalost takva je situacija ale mogu da zamislim kako je kombinacija biblioteke i doma kulture izgledala. nacionalizacija je katastrofalno uticala na ovakva i slicna zdanja. kod nas smo imali projekat pretvaranja starog mlina u mezej, no ne zna se ciji je i ciji ce da bude i normalno samo propada.

Muka mi je..zaista..neverovatnu sposobnost imamo za unistavanje.
A bog te pitaj koliko ovakvih bisera postoji po zemlji.
Da je negde drugde, glacnuli bi i ziveli svi samo od turizma..
po vojvodini ih ima dosta, vecina ima istu sudbinu. i vecina je vec u stanju u kom je jako tesko obnoviti.
