The following location was an elementary school built in 1977. It was closed in 2018 because of its bad condition. When these photos were taken the building had been abandoned for five years. The building was definitely abandoned, but well sealed. I still decided to try the traditional walkaround. That isn’t exactly right. Even theContinue reading “Business And Pleasure Go Well Together Again Part III”

Business And Pleasure Go Well Together Again Part II
My friend next took me to a suburb, where she showed me this location. It was originally a general store, but had been converted into a restaurant at some point. Hugely popular in the beginning of the 2000’s, it closed sometime in the 2010’s. The restaurant was called Iltatähti, the Evening star. In Finland thisContinue reading “Business And Pleasure Go Well Together Again Part II”
Business And Pleasure Go Well Together Again Part I
In early August that year my company chose to send me to cover a few construction sites in Eastern Finland. I took the opportunity and left before I officially was supposed to. I stayed at my friend’s place, because she said she had some places to show me. And this here is the first one.Continue reading “Business And Pleasure Go Well Together Again Part I”
Weren’t They A Bit Too Quick?
While I was in the area, my friends started contacting me. They had read news about a long since abandoned general store finally getting a demolition permit that day. The demolition would commence as soon as the two week appeal period would be over. I knew the location. I had seen it when passing byContinue reading “Weren’t They A Bit Too Quick?”
A Small Corner Conquered
Another earlier featured building. I’ve previously wondered what it has been, but it turns out, that this is the gardener’s and chauffeur’s home of a tuberculosis sanatorium, and built in 1933. The sanatorium later became a regional hospital, which was closed some time ago. This building, however, along with the apartment buildings for doctors andContinue reading “A Small Corner Conquered”
Same Location, More Frustration
A familiar view? Good! That means, that you’ve been following my blog closely. This here is the former nursing home, which I’ve already visited twice in 2020 and once more in 2022. No much luck was present back then. Vandalism is clearly escalating, as more and more windows are covered each year. I have, however,Continue reading “Same Location, More Frustration”
An Untouched Pearl
My local urbex whisperer tipped me about another location in the area. It was a former farmers’ association building in a small village. Unused for years it was on the side of a trekking path and there is a camping and campfire spot on the grounds. The building is pretty much untouched despite its doorsContinue reading “An Untouched Pearl”
Empty For Decades But Well Guarded
Once again I return to a familiar location, which hasn’t been featured here earlier. It is a former municipal home, which I visited for the first time in 2022, but only turned on the parking lot, when I saw the cameras. The wooden building at the back is from the 1920’s, the more modern probablyContinue reading “Empty For Decades But Well Guarded”
The Final Moment Was An Unpleasant Surprise Part IV
Moving on to the final sections of the upstairs of this building. And finding another kitchen. The 1980’s look of the furniture was pretty staggering. The very messed up main stairway, which I didn’t climb in the earlier post. Moving on. It gets darker. But there were still more rooms. And they did follow theContinue reading “The Final Moment Was An Unpleasant Surprise Part IV”
The Final Moment Was An Unpleasant Surprise Part III
Back at the porch, it seems. One more entrance. It looks to lead to the final unexplored part of the upstairs. And indeed it did. Well here we have another mess. Moving on to a lobby. And reaching room number 4. What a small room I found. Judging by the mattresses, this has been aContinue reading “The Final Moment Was An Unpleasant Surprise Part III”
