THE HOUSE WHERE TIME STOOD STILL

These incredible photos show a family home left untouched since it was abandoned in the 1960s

A smashed TV, unwashed pots, unmade beds and dusty possessions - including a single child's wellington boot - litter the property

STEPPING into this family home, which has stood still since the 1960s, is like venturing into a time warp.

These incredible photos show the perfectly-preserved home, which was mysteriously abandoned by the family who lived in it around 50 years ago.

 Peeling wallpaper, retro TVs and a lone yellow wellington boot give this abandoned home a particularly eerie feel

The slowly decaying and dusty property, in Belgium, is decked with retro wallpaper, paintings and other decor.

It appears to have been abandoned in a hurry. The beds lay unmade, while an unwashed casserole dish and flask have been left out on the dining room table.

The eerily empty home is still littered with family possessions, including portraits and a child's single yellow wellington boot.

A smashed TV and fake flowers decorate the mouldy property.

Urban explorer and German photographer Jane Veltmann, 31, captured the lost home.

She specialises in capturing abandoned homes, hotels, crematoriums, cinemas and post offices - for her .
