After finding the larger space, things got back to usual. There was another office cubicle, but this one looked more solid and older than the previous ones. Extremely old pipes. And something, which looks like an exit. A small room with debris. Nokia puzzles? What are these? This photo has probably been taken through aContinue reading “Pretty Dirty For A Soap Factory Part II”

Pretty Dirty For A Soap Factory Part I
This burned van doesn’t create the least bit of confidence. But my next location can already be seen in the background. And there it is, the former former soap factory I already mentioned. It opened in 1892 and in 1900 it was the biggest soap manufacturer in the country. This factory was built in theContinue reading “Pretty Dirty For A Soap Factory Part I”
Not Quite Empty Yet
There were several locations in my home town, which I never even knew about while living there. When reading about a new detail plan I found out, that hidden in a corner of a residential area, which I very well knew, was a lovely, functionalistic factory area. Built in many phases between 1890 and theContinue reading “Not Quite Empty Yet”
Security Has Tightened
Have you noticed, that it has been several posts since my previous successful exploration? Well, I have and there are two reasons for it. The first one is, that this area of the country is pretty prosperous and tightly inhabited. There are far less abandoned buildings than in the Northern and Eastern parts of Finland.Continue reading “Security Has Tightened”
Ruins Of My Nightmares
So, what do we have here? Just another ruined old industrial building? No, definitely nope. This is the place where my nightmares were made. The place, where I met my childhood trauma back in 2006, my first ever entrance in 2009, my first ever full exploration in 2010, a place I visited again in 2015Continue reading “Ruins Of My Nightmares”
A Midsummer Date Part XX
The sun had already started to set on our second date day. It was the hottest midsummer in years, and my summer car had no air conditioning. We were rather tired and sweaty and decided to invest on an Airbnb somewhere in the countryside. But before that I took my date to the most beautifulContinue reading “A Midsummer Date Part XX”
A Midsummer Date Part I
It was now Midsummer eve, and I was shuttling from village to village in Southeastern Finland. I was in a hurry. And I was in a hurry, because I had an appointment. Some months ago (a few weeks in real life), I told you, that I went to my hotel and opened Tinder after aContinue reading “A Midsummer Date Part I”
Your Roof May Be Leaking Part II
The damage of this wing was pretty bad already. Reaching the top. The roof has already started to collapse. Another attempt at being artsy. Another failure. A beef box. What is that? So much for the tall part of the building. Now it’s time to see, what the collapsed part has to offer. This wouldContinue reading “Your Roof May Be Leaking Part II”
Your Roof May Be Leaking Part I
Time to head towards the second industrial building on the lot. It was designed the same way as the previous one: a narrow, taller part and a lower, long production part. There was a small, garage looking building, which, according to maps, is the former end of the previous building I visited. This means, thatContinue reading “Your Roof May Be Leaking Part I”
The Tiny Oddity Uncovered
I last encountered this building back in 2020, when I was too badly equipped to enter its overgrown yard full of metal scrap. Now I knew better what to expect. In the early 20th century a brick factory was built in this village. The company operating it later grew and grew and later had severalContinue reading “The Tiny Oddity Uncovered”
