This gallery features remarkable abandoned industrial locations that evoke the atmosphere of long-lost historical eras. Hungary has experienced multiple waves of industrialization—the first around 150 years ago, and the second and third during the Soviet Era, when state-backed industrialization reshaped the nation. Each period left behind extensive factories and plants, marked by the architectural styles, technology, and design of their time. Recently, many of these untouched, abandoned sites have become popular with both national and international productions. Progressive has filmed various projects at these locations, which range in style and function. From power stations and mines to metal factories and industrial docks, these spaces feature control rooms, towering chimneys, winding corridors, and vast halls with distinctive metal structures and large glass windows—all within easy reach of Budapest. Our team has scouted and photographed these locations to ensure that they are available for rentals and meet the health and safety standards required for shooting.
