Tallest Unoccupied Buildings in the World
| October 16, 2017
1. Magasház
This high-rise in Pécs, Hungary known as Magasház, or “tall building” held the record as the tallest uninhabited building in Central Europe until its demolition in 2016. The 25-story tower was built during a financial boom in the 1970s and contained hundreds of residences.
However, by 1989 the building was declared structurally unsafe and was evacuated. Attempts to reinforce the building were made in 2003, but the building was still not considered safe enough for use. Magasház was slowly demolished floor by floor in March 2016.
