A Traditional Season Start Part IV

The following location was the suggestion of my godson’s father. It was an old school, which had been used to educate Swedish speaking nurses. Built in the 1960’s, it was enlarged in the 1990’s and abandoned in 2017, when the school moved its operations elsewhere. The newest section of the school was thus in use for less than 30 years.

For my friend this place was personal. He used to cook in the school’s canteen for some time in the early part of his career. He really wanted inside, so I agreed to accompany.

The original 1960’s part is to the right. The new addition is to the left.

It looks a bit like the junction between old and new also acts as the new main stairway and main entrance of the school.

A closer look at the junction reveals a broken fence and lots of broken glass. But no clear way in.

The old part was much more interesting.

The balconies have been protected by nets to prevent plaster and concrete from falling.

Because of the different architecture, I believe, that this is the original main entrance.

Apart from the one gap in the fence, the area seemed well sealed.

The entire old section seen in one piece.

The entrance had received an extra fence.

There was another wing to the new wing. I’d be surprised if it didn’t contain the auditorium.

A view inside. It looks like demolition has started.

The owner of the building has tried demolishing it for years. All attempts have ended in complaints, appeals and court battles. Yet it seems, that some work has started before being interrupted.

The new entrance has also been fenced off.

Almost gone around the whole building now.

That large window over there seems a bit out of place. I wonder what it has been.

As of 2026 the complaints still continue and the buildings still stand. My friend tried entering once and triggered an alarm. This place really is guarded.
