The rusting enigma, Esztergom coal loader (Esztergomi szénrakodó) in Hungary
This 100-year-old industrial skeleton stands in the waters of the Danube. Built in 1927, this imposing structure served as the final terminal for coal travelling from the Dorog mines.
Now it is a disintegrating ruin of concrete and steel foundations, slowly yielding to the river’s current since the site was decommissioned in 1963.
