The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part I

And here I am standing at the gates of yet another mental asylum. If the map looks a bit funny in some points, don’t worry. I’ve just edited out all road names, the name of the hospital and the name of the location. Closest to the entrance was the technical wing with the boiler room,Continue reading “The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part I”

An Atypical Mansion Interior

Same evening, same journey and a sight, which stopped us. A very old, large farm house, which was located behind a field, which grows weed. It was quite a trip to find a way through the field, which grew all kinds of nasty things. But we made it. An impressive collection of former garden chairsContinue reading “An Atypical Mansion Interior”

Not Sure If, So No Go

After the tiny white cottage, we found another potential location with my friend. This house looked like it was abandoned. The yard was growing weed and there was no bin by the driveway. That’s why we decided, that it was safe to approach. Unfortunately the door was locked. And the place looked like it wasContinue reading “Not Sure If, So No Go”

Enabling A New Experience

A window, how tempting. And magically we have teleported inside. By ‘we’ I mean me and my friend, who decided to invite me to stay in the guest room of their family’s home, when they heard that I was nearby. They told me they knew some abandoned buildings nearby, so we went to explore themContinue reading “Enabling A New Experience”

The House Behind The Game Fence Part II

Moving further in the messy, primitive and damaged rooms I arrive in what looks like the kitchen. Again I suspect that the 1990’s abandonment doesn’t make sense. The kitchen contains a large baking oven and a wood powered stove. And only a small, portable electric stove, which also is very old. Not only very old,Continue reading “The House Behind The Game Fence Part II”

The House Behind The Game Fence Part I

A game fence by a busy Finnish highway. And a gate, which asks to be closed. The fellow urbexer, who I met the previous summer and who shares their discoveries with me, calls this place ‘The House Behind The Game Fence’. That’s why I’ll also call it that way. I already found this location whenContinue reading “The House Behind The Game Fence Part I”

The Blue One By Main Street

While moving towards my next location, I spotted this rather original building by a central road in a village. Let’s just say it was in a rather bad condition. It looked like it was built by some sort of an association. There was an assembly hall upstairs and some business premises downstairs. The courtyard sideContinue reading “The Blue One By Main Street”

Not Used What It Was Meant For Part XIV

And there it is. The entrance to the final wing of the building. That chair has gone through a lot. Cute kitchen tiles. Either this wing has been the caretaker’s apartment or just a technical space of the factory. But it has definitely had a special purpose back in the days. Whatever the reason hasContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part XIV”

Not Used What It Was Meant For Part XIII

More contents of the attic storage. The inhabitants had left a surprising amount of valuable looking furniture behind. There was also the traditional rooftop access. Again I declined. So it was sort of time to go back. One final look from the courtyard side. And now I’m back at the cathedral wing with the bigContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part XIII”

Not Used What It Was Meant For Part XII

Oh! A red bucket! Oh, an almost intact mirror. But why is my left pocket so full? Another kitchen. A newspaper from 2005. And another kitchen. And another living room. Here the floor is surprisingly plastic, and years of neglect, freezing temperatures and unauthorized steps have turned it into crumbled pieces of plastic. Three DoorsContinue reading “Not Used What It Was Meant For Part XII”
