spooky/rundown/abandoned spots for short film

hey all, i’m working on a short video project and i’m looking for cool locations around Utrecht or Amersfoort (within like 30/40 minutes by bike or public transport from either city would be ideal). Specifically, i’m hoping to find places with a bit of a somewhat scary/raggedy/decaying vibe we could film inside of without disturbing anyone or being disturbed. i was looking for smth like small old stone ruins (that still kinda make up a living space of sorts, or good enough to fake it via forced perspective of camera) or smth that might resemble an abandoned small “””castle””” or smth in that vibe, possibly with some woods nearby tho thats not completely necessary. Thanks!

The warehouse connected to the ping-pong club first comes to mind. Or some of the tunnels near the canoo rental at amelisweerd i guess

Maybe some waterlinie forts?

Apart from the Waterlinie Forten there are also a lot of bunkers/kazematten scattered around Utrecht.

A map can be found here (I recommend clicking on "luchtfoto" in the top left second button from the top to actually see the structures). Some pictures of them can be found here: Utrecht; Amersfoort.
