I had spotted this house earlier while travelling by train. It is directly next to an old railway station, so I suspect, that it has originally been built for railroad workers. The boards in the windows indicated that life had left a while ago. The windows, which weren’t boarded, were broken. Seems like a definiteContinue reading “Hanging By A Thread”

From The Court To A Beach Holiday
My final location of the evening was a former holiday village near a large beach. It was originally built by the same company, which built the residential quarters to its workers. The aim of this place was to provide recreation to the same people. According to media reports the place has been unused for yearsContinue reading “From The Court To A Beach Holiday”
1 Room & Former Kitchen
I was literally only returning to my car from the previous location, when I spotted something further of interest. A small cottage with a hall, two rooms, no windows and open doors. This was pretty much the sight inside. There was another room to the right, but it was empty, and the picture quality ofContinue reading “1 Room & Former Kitchen”
Paint For Sale
Moving on to the next building on the other side of the overgrown yard. It had had another wing right there, but that had been demolished between 2012 and 2015. The building has been abandoned for a long time. Why they chose to tear down only one wing of it remains a mystery. At firstContinue reading “Paint For Sale”
A Collapsing Mystery
And so we are approaching the next location. Which is the yellow building in the picture. It had a very strange window layout indicating it was probably used for commerce or manufactoring of some sort. It was also in a very bad condition and had partially collapsed. I already knew by now that I hadContinue reading “A Collapsing Mystery”
A Small Selection
While looking for something completely different, I spotted this small old grocery store hidden behind bushes. An old coffee company ad was on the wall, but I was more interested in the store’s chain. The T-markets were launched in the 1970’s and were rebranded as Spars way back in 1993. This means, that the placeContinue reading “A Small Selection”
The Store Is Definitely Closed
And here we have another old village store. It would probably have contained a lot of interesting stories. Unfortunately I couldn’t fit through these small windows. And so this place remained a mystery.
A Silent Court
Next destination: a former residential area built for the workers of a nearby copper factory. I had heard of the place from a fellow urbexer. I wasn’t really sure of its exact location, nor did I know what I could expect. Sounds like an adventure, right? Wooden houses from the early post war period, allContinue reading “A Silent Court”
Almost Choo-chooed On The Way
Several of the locations I chose to visit during my road trip were places, which I had never visited. I had spotted them in news about abandoned buildings, construction projects and future demolitions. But there were also several locations, which I had spotted during my extensive tour of Finland the previous summer. That time IContinue reading “Almost Choo-chooed On The Way”
The Kids Are Gone Part II
So, upstairs we go then. The wooden panels in the stairway are so shiny, that they reflect like a mirror. The upstairs was pretty similar to the downstairs. Open spaces connected with a corridor. The last toilet paper roll of the building. And a very interesting plastic floor. The place had been abandoned with mostContinue reading “The Kids Are Gone Part II”
