We camped in the rural area and woke up fairly early. We got going as soon as we got the car to start. It was getting increasingly difficult each time, but eventually the car would start every time.
We hadn’t driven for more than a few kilometers, when we spotted something by the roadside.
A huge farm house, almost like a mansion and in a very bad shape.
The place didn’t stand straight anymore. All porch windows were broken.
Like I said, the building was huge. There was already a hole in the roof.
It’s not visible in this photo, but the yard contained brand new looking farming machinery and other equipment. Although the house was no longer in use, the lot seemed to be an active use. We left.
It turned out, that this had been a significant building. It was older than the 1830’s and one of the oldest still standing houses in Finland. it had been an inn. The last resident was a famous sculptor, who passed in 2023.
