Minnesota is full of hauntingly beautiful abandoned places, particularly mills. This mill in Minneapolis is known in the area for its massive size and the stories of trespassers who have been injured and even died exploring the ruins. Past developers have had issues determining what to do with the space, which has been vacant since 1971 when the circa 1890s mill, named for businessman William H. Fruen, closed.

This drone footage shows Fruen Mill and the surrounding area like you've never seen it before, and even offers a peek at downtown Minneapolis!
