A friend of mine told me about one of the strangest villages in Finland. It was an extremely long one located by the sides of an almost straight road and continued for dozens of kilometers. The center of the village was 30-40 kilometers from the nearest towns.
It had been a rural village and like with all rural villages, people had started leaving. There was a lot to explore, my friend said.
And quite well enough I didn’t even get to the village, before I spotted the first location.
Looks like a very old farm house, which has been abandoned for ages. The roof looks surprisingly fresh, though.
After trekking through the jungle between the road and the porch I was greeted to this.
It was a two room cottage, which was very badly destroyed from the inside. By vandals or failed renovations, I don’t know.
Plain wood, torn wallpaper, bricks and debris was really all there was to see.
Some windows had been blocked even when the building was still in use.
This one was the larger room of the house.
The fireplaces were completely destroyed.
This is the other room. It was pretty much the same. As the floor was badly destroyed, I didn’t explore further.
Not the most interesting of places. But they all count!
