While sitting in my car Googling, which of the buildings would go first to, I found an article about the closure of the schools in the area. It mentioned one further school, which I previously was unaware about.
The school had been built in the 1960’s and closed in 2012. In 2013 it was announced, that it would be demolished, but then suddenly in early 2014 some Russian guy bought it. He intended to use it for accommodation purposes.
So a 1960’s school closed and set for demolition sold to a Russian with pennies? Nothing, I repeat, nothing screams ‘I am abandoned’ more like a history like this.
The school building itself looked quite interesting. It had been built on a hillside and one end of it resembled stairs.
I told you I was certain about this place.
The architecture of the building was actually pretty stylish for the 1960’s.
Time has stopped. Again.
The yard was full of broken glass and everything growing between the tiles.
Getting inside wasn’t exactly difficult.
Because the ground floor was mostly above the soil and not a basement, I decided to start exploring there.
This looks like the woodworking class. And the school looks like it went through its almost 45 years of operation without a single renovation.
There was all kinds of stuff left – some from the school era, some of the new owner.
The storage room of the woodworking class. Full of emptiness, it seems.
A lot of windows were stored in one corner.
The front of the classroom facing the blackboard.
A dark and uninviting corridor continued underground. This was enough for me.
Time to head up.
The school’s location on the hillside made it a rather strange stairway.
The first floor above the ground featured a side corridor.
And this looks like a former chemistry or physics classroom.
The couch was a surprise, though.
Again all the materials look like they were from the 1960’s. Apart from the tap.
The next room was surprisingly a much smaller one.
As was the following one. I wonder, what the purpose of these has been.
