What Happened to Belgium’s Abandoned Ghost Town? | Doel

Doel is a semi-abandoned ghost town in Belgium, but what happened to this abandoned village?

Once home to over 2,000 people, Doel is now a nearly abandoned ghost town shaped by harbor expansion and politics. Famous among urban explorers across Europe, it’s often called the “Chernobyl of Belgium” for its nearby nuclear plant next to the abandoned village.

In this urbex documentary I explain everything what happened to the ghost town, including:
00:00 Introduction to Doel
01:00 History of Doel
01:53 Disappearance of nearby towns
02:51 Doel getting abandoned
04:41 Ghost town in decay
06:00 Resistence of Doel
07:01 Doel today

Doel is one of the most famous lost places in Belgium. This ghost town documentary is part of my urbex Belgium series, exploring abandoned places, ghost towns, and forgotten places. If you enjoy dark tourism and urban exploration, this is a story you won’t want to miss.
