Finally the entrance from the parking lot. This was where this exploration started – on the outside.
This looks like the instruction manual of a very early model video projector.
And that’s probably what’s left of the video projector.
And the entrance. A very smashed one, once again.
And yes, there’s yet another shelf. This one was visible in some of the first photos from this location. I’ve now done a full 360.
Some aspiring graffiti artists have left their mark.
Surprising. The room up the stairs seems to have been a locker room. Factory workers have entered through that entrance from the parking lot and gone to change in here.
The lockers even included name tags left.
The room was rather large and the chaos was total.
And where there are locker rooms, there usually are washrooms.
And indeed this is where workers have showered after long, sweaty shifts.
While getting dressed they were offered a view of what was awaiting them for the next eight hours or so.
Even this toilet was in its original shape from the 1970’s, when the factory was built.
One more corner of the great halls documenting the graffiti in here.
A look back at the final cubicles.
The remains of some machinery.
More of the machinery inside the cubicle.
Well, it seems, that this turned out to be the heart of the factory.
“This guy is a bastard V.K. <3. – WHO?”
And so I am on the loading docks behind the factory. Some guy with a quad bike was also present.
The loading dock wasn’t a very interesting place. There were several doors, though.
And most of them were open, a fact, which could already be seen from the interior pictures.
The motorway was built to the backyard in the 1990’s, when the plant was still in full operation.
Not all the racing in the area ended happily.
And that, my dear friends, is the definiton of a party animal.
All very well, but there will be no next time. The demolition of the building started in September 2023. They demolished the office wing and the walls and the roof of the building. They left the frame and the foundations.
Apparently the owner hopes to find a new investor and would like to build on the foundations and the frame. The municipality wants the entire structure gone. They were still battling as of early summer 2025.
But I had completed Finland. And was on my way to new halls.
