The first view to the courtyard from the second floor windows. The brick building visible behind the trees is a former dormitory built in the 1970’s, when the seminar was closed and converted to providing other forms of education. Most of the second floor was what was the real gem of the building: the mainContinue reading “Got Past The Final Boss Part II”

Got Past The Final Boss Part I
I had once again slept in my summer car, and woken up very early to the sound of birds and the rising sun starting to heat up my car. It was around 6.45 am, when I reached a small town, which I rarely visit. I drove around the streets of the small centre and suddenlyContinue reading “Got Past The Final Boss Part I”
Read All About It
My friends often ask me, how I find all these locations. I could reply with a song from my early 20’s: Read All About It. Of course this song has nothing to do with abandoned houses, but its title does. I mostly read about them. Every week I do a Google search on demolition plansContinue reading “Read All About It”
An Institute Beyond Recognition Part III
We begin the exploration to the upstairs in the annex of the workers’ institute with a view to a kitchen. And here’s another kitchen. I can recall having photographed here. Back then the closet doors were in their place and nobody had removed the stove. There are houses right behind that window and the inhabitantsContinue reading “An Institute Beyond Recognition Part III”
An Institute Beyond Recognition Part II
Even the stairway had gotten a large graffiti. We would eventually go upstairs, but not quite yet. First we would explore the ground floor – or the section of the ground floor which was slightly above the entrance level. There wasn’t much to see here. The windows had been shut by plywood since my previousContinue reading “An Institute Beyond Recognition Part II”
An Institute Beyond Recognition Part I
As the third location of our tour I took my friends to the abandoned workers’ institute I had photographed in 2014, 2016 and 2017 and where I had also taken a dancer for the experimental photo shoot, which really killed my interest towards photography. Two years had passed, and since then things had changed. BackContinue reading “An Institute Beyond Recognition Part I”
The Workers’ Institute That Vanished Again
When the workers’ institute moved away from the premises, where I photographed in 2014, 2016 and 2017, it was given new spaces in a former school. Built originally in 1964 as a secondary school and high school, it was enlarged in 1968 and 1972. A curious detail about the building was that it was designedContinue reading “The Workers’ Institute That Vanished Again”
The Working Class Girl
Long time no see, the Dancing Ghost of the School. After a long time of being busy attending our own businesses, we managed to find a day we both had off work and other activites. We fondly remembered our previous photo shoot and decided to take a rematch. There were few suitable locations around, whereContinue reading “The Working Class Girl”
The Cursed School Part II
After seeing the texts described at the end of the last post, this place started really giving us the chill. I mean they were texts, just texts written by teenagers feeling desperation in this city of hopelessness and social problems. But still they were something different. “Are we alone in the Universe”, asks a SwedishContinue reading “The Cursed School Part II”
Little Stubs of Details from the Workers’ Institute
Okay, this story is getting familiar already. Another friend of mine saw my pictures and heard my stories about my urbex hobby and asked, if she could accompany me. I had a terrible crush on her, so of course I said yes. As there was nothing new abandoned in our town, we took to theContinue reading “Little Stubs of Details from the Workers’ Institute”
