Nicholas Van Hoogstraten’s Beautiful Hamilton Palace
Uckfield, Sussex England

The Ghost House of Sussex: £40million mansion is still being built by property baron and friend of Robert Mugabe 31 Years after work first began.
Nicholas Van Hoogstraten began the construction of Hamilton Palace in 1985 but work appears to have now ceased.
The British property baron's half-built home has now been nicknamed the Ghost House of Sussex by local residents.
Now living in Zimbabwe, Hoogstraten is an associate of Robert Mugabe and has invested millions in the country.

Stretched between rows of ancient trees and sprawling over green fields, this is the so-called Ghost House of Sussex - a massive £40million mansion left incomplete after work first began in the 1980s.

Property baron Nicholas Van Hoogstraten, who began the construction of Hamilton Palace, near Uckfield in East Sussex in 1985, has long since left British shores to further his business interests in Zimbabwe.

The controversial businessman, who was once jailed for paying thugs to hurl a grenade into a rival's home, started building the home - complete with its own mausoleum - in order to house his vast art collection.
