It's actually an unfinished North Korean palace named Ryugyong Hotel. I love it.
"The 105-story "Hotel of Doom," which is also North Korea's tallest building, has never hosted a single guest. Construction began almost 40 years ago, and it is not yet complete — the cost of finishing the building is estimated to be around 5% of the country's entire GDP."

Abandoned hotel
Tumblr media
North Korea 🇰🇵
Tumblr media
It was supposed to become the world's tallest hotel. Instead, it became the world's tallest abandoned building. The pyramid-shaped Ryugyong Hotel is 330 metres (1,080 ft) tall and one of the most prominent features of Pyongyang's skyline. The structure consists of 105 floors and it was originally intended to house five revolving restaurants, and between 3,000 to 7,665 guest rooms
Construction began in 1987 and it was North Korea's response to other high-rise development taking place in cities around the West and Asia during the Cold War. For North Korean leadership, it was also an attempt to bring western investors into the marketplace. The hotel was scheduled to open in June 1989 for the 13th World Festival of Youth and Students, but problems with building methods and materials delayed completion.
In 1992, after it reached its architectural height, construction halted due to the economic crisis and famine in North Korea following the collapse of the Soviet bloc. By then, the hotel's construction cost $750 million, consuming 2% of North Korea's GDP. For over a decade, the unfinished building sat vacant and without windows, fixtures, or fittings, appearing as a massive concrete shell while A rusting construction crane remained at the top.
In 2008, construction resumed by the Egyptian Orascom company. The company had also made a deal to operate North Korea's telecommunications network and installed antennas on top of the building. By 2011 work had finished. Ryogyong Hotel was fitted with windows but not much work had taken place in the hotel's interior. Since then, there have been many rumors of the hotel finally opening but until today it remains unoccupied.

The Shard.
I contemplated going to the top to see the view of the city but since we’ve already been to the Sky Garden and it was a nice day I wanted to enjoy the city.
But when I was approaching it from down the road it reminded me of another building ;-)
NB: the Shard was built between 2009 & 2012. The Ryugyong hotel was built between 1987 & 1992 then resumed in 2008 and the exterior was completed in 2011.

Yeah so this ^ is an old picture of the Ryugyong hotel in Pyongyang from earlier in its construction just photoshopped onto a barren landscape and with a dark and grainy filter put over it for drama. The actual building is in the middle of the city and looks like this.

It's still under construction. Looks a lot less menacing and desolate now doesn't it.

ABANDONNÉ PAR DIEU
[DEUTÉRONOME 28 :45-57]
L’un des projets abandonnés les plus coûteux au monde est l’Hôtel Ryugyong à Pyongyang, en Corée du Nord. Dominant la ligne d’horizon de Pyongyang comme une sentinelle imposante, cet hôtel devait symboliser le prestige et la modernité de la Corée du Nord. La construction commença en 1987 mais fut interrompue au début des années 1990 en raison de crises économiques et de défis d’ingénierie. S’élevant à 105 étages, cette structure colossale reste inachevée, un témoignage fantomatique des ambitions d’une époque révolue. Avec un coût estimé à plus de 750 millions de dollars, ce projet est un échec monumental.
Sous les instructions de Dieu, Moïse décrivit clairement les calamités qui s’abattraient sur les Israélites s’ils s’éloignaient de la Parole de Dieu. Il menaça qu’ils seraient abandonnés. Ils deviendraient esclaves d’autres nations qui les soumettraient à une dure servitude. Ils seraient assiégés et soumis à une famine telle qu’ils perdraient tout attachement filial, au point de manger la chair de leurs enfants pour survivre. Malheureusement, les Juifs n’écoutèrent pas ces avertissements. Par leur désobéissance flagrante à Dieu, ils attirèrent sur eux ces terribles malheurs. Avec le temps, les prédictions effrayantes se réalisèrent littéralement. Leur pays fut non seulement assiégé mais aussi ravagé, et ils furent déportés en captivité à Babylone pendant soixante-dix ans. Jérusalem fut ensuite détruite par les Romains.
Que de penser qu’une nation si chère à Dieu, comme Israël, puisse subir un tel sort est édifiant. Cela souligne le fait que Dieu ne fait pas de favoritisme. Il favorise et récompense ceux qui Le cherchent sincèrement ; ceux qui L’abandonne courent le risque d’être abandonnés par Lui. De plus, « Il est terrible de tomber entre les mains du Dieu vivant » (Hébreux 10 :31). Il est un Dieu jaloux qui ne tolère aucune rivalité. Dieu mérite un engagement total et une obéissance sans réserve de notre part. On ne peut pas Le servir tout en servant Mammon ou d’autres ‟dieux”.
Alors que vous réfléchissez à ce sujet, il est important de considérer votre engagement actuel envers le Seigneur. Vous rapprochez-vous de Lui ou vous en éloignez-vous ? Vivre dans la désobéissance à la Parole de Dieu ou s’éloigner de Lui est un pari dangereux.
Si vous voulez arriver en sécurité et à temps, adopter le rythme de Dieu.
Que l'Éternel Dieu le Père Tout-Puissant nous protège et nous accorde la grâce de Le chercher constamment en esprit et en vérité, vivre dans la pratique et l'obéissance de Sa Parole en Le servant uniquement sans réserve de notre part au nom puissant de Jésus-Christ 🙏 🙏
