So, upstairs we go then. The wooden panels in the stairway are so shiny, that they reflect like a mirror.
The upstairs was pretty similar to the downstairs. Open spaces connected with a corridor.
The last toilet paper roll of the building. And a very interesting plastic floor.
The place had been abandoned with most of the furniture still inside. It had taken its toll of vandalism.
An old calculator and some old paper sheets. Unfortunately the image was too blurred to see what the papers were about.
A room at one end of the building.
A very common find: a pairless shoe of some sort.
The usual drawings along with a strangely specific threat: ‘Ninni, you’re gonna die’. Hope she is safe.
Someone found paint to play with. Looks like what I did as an infant.
This room looked like a former office of some sort.
The upstairs corridor to the other direction. The stairs up were in the middle of the building, so I was now heading towards the last corner of it.
A former toilet with an interesting color on the walls.
I don’t know what that is. I don’t wanna know what that is.
A collection of chairs. The old cupboards are beautiful.
The text says bat cave.
That’s an innovative way to create a board.
One of the last rooms in the building.
A record by Bat & Ryyd, short for Batman & Ryydman, a humor band formed in the 1980’s.
Looks like a nasty mess.
That was all. I took the second set of stairs down. These look like a later addition, perhaps built when the building became the community center and needed to meet new fire safety standards.
And we’re back in the beginning. But most likely reaching the end, both of this exploration and the building’s life.
The former kindergarten is listed as a protected building, but due to years of abandonment and vandalism, it has become practically unrepairable. The town initiated the process of changing the detail plan of the area later in 2021 and the plan was approved in 2022. It removed the protection status and allows the demolition of this building. The lot is reserved for apartments, but the new buildings should follow the size and shape of this one.
But the last time I visited back in the summer of 2022 or 2023, it was still standing.
