An old stove. This indicates, that the teacher’s apartment has indeed been here upstairs. The upstairs lobby. I first found the handrail in the middle of it rather strange, until I realized, that the side stairway had a similar one. The main stairway of the school had been located here, but closed at some point.Continue reading “Visible During Winter Only Part II”

Testing The Third Curse
Well, well, well, isn’t that the cursed school? The old and creepy place, which I first visited in 2017 and finally finished the exploration in 2022. There was an old barrack on the yard, which I explored back in 2021. So why am I back? Haven’t I seen it all already? Well, no. There’s stillContinue reading “Testing The Third Curse”
So Ancient, That It Wasn’t On The Internet Part II
The other building was in a much better shape. I suspect, that it has been a teacher apartment building, why else would a house with two apartments have been built here. These two photos have been taken from the main road once running through the area. It has become a rose garden. The other endContinue reading “So Ancient, That It Wasn’t On The Internet Part II”
So Ancient That It Wasn’t On The Internet Part I
I have a friend I’ve known since my student years. We met through student politics, were never close, but shared a fandom towards old Volvos. We gradually started talking on Instagram and he started following my roadtrips. He told me, that his girlfriend originally came from a small rural village, and he could ask hisContinue reading “So Ancient That It Wasn’t On The Internet Part I”
The World’s Slowest Demolition Operation
Time to go and have a look at another familiar location. This here is the former community college, I’ve visited many times before. Demolition started way back in 2020. It was now July 2023, and they still hadn’t managed to tear the three buildings down. In fact compared with these photos from the spring ofContinue reading “The World’s Slowest Demolition Operation”
Missed It Again
Having again read the news, I heard of a new elementary school built in a village, which former was a center of a small municipality. The building of the new school in such small places almost always means the demolition of the old school. And again I felt sorry about the beautiful old 1950’s schoolContinue reading “Missed It Again”
Caught In Crossfire Part IV
That would be the way down, but we’re not going there just yet. Practising the letter F. The blinds are shut. Another dark room with a maze. The ceiling in this room was higher and the windows were different. I suspect, that this has been the assembly hall of the school before the gym wasContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part IV”
Caught In Crossfire Part III
A fireplace up front and a toilet to the left. This has definitely been an apartment back in the days when teachers still lived in schools. Since then it has been something else. Those look like clothes dryers. “Wash hands when you come in the morning”. That’s pretty good advice for schoolkids All kinds ofContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part III”
Caught In Crossfire Part II
The corridor between the old and new wings was fairly primitive. You can’t call the new part beautiful from the insides either, but the use of natural light was nice. Even the toilet has been a shooting range. This looks like the school library. It looks as small and cozy as the entire school. They’veContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part II”
Caught In Crossfire Part I
Back at yet another familiar location. This old elementary school for Swedish speaking kids had stood empty since 2014 waiting for demolition and replacement with a kindergarten. I’ve been looking for a way in twice in 2011 and once in 2022. This is already my fourth attempt. For some strange reason there was a carContinue reading “Caught In Crossfire Part I”
