Urban Exploration - The Robine House

We received photos from a traveler and compiled them into a historical summary.

Maison Robine is an abandoned vacation home that has been derelict since 2014. It belonged to a Belgian family. Nestled in the heart of the forest and naturally isolated, it has suffered significant vandalism. Rather than outright destruction, it has mostly been subject to systematic looting—the smallest objects have been taken. It gives the impression that everything has been methodically scraped clean.

The house belonged to Paul Raymond H. and his wife. They had two daughters, Robine and Katty, who frequently appear in ski photos that seem to date back to the 1980s. Judging by the photos, it seems plausible that Robine and Katty also had a brother. At the time, they were registered at 6A / 4 Rue du Merlo in 1180 Brussels. This is located in the commune of Uccle, a wealthy area of Brussels, though the specific neighborhood, Stalle, is more moderate. The address is a very large apartment building. No doubt the family felt the need to get away to the countryside.

I have extremely few leads, given that I am not familiar with the Belgian administrative system. As a result, I don’t know how to go about making official inquiries.

According to documents found on-site, Paul worked at the SCK CEN: the Studiecentrum voor Kernenergie (Nuclear Energy Research Centre), located in Mol. We know nothing of Katty. As for Robine, she was born on October 30, 1968.

Locals have told me that the abandonment of the house was due to a family member's illness. Paul has passed away. The beautiful house is now falling into a deep sleep of neglect, deteriorating inexorably.
