So, welcome to yet another familiar location. This here is a mental asylum featured earlier in here and in here. I am longing once again to get in, but as I never break things, it is up to others to decide, if I will get there. I am willing to go for yet another attempt,Continue reading “A Familiar Dead End Came Around”

Still Waiting For New Ideas
Welcome to yet another familiar location. This time I am at the former mental asylum featured a couple of times earlier. The main building was demolished back in 2021, but this protected 1924’s older building remained. It had been looking for new use for years. Even the old service building was still remaining. It probablyContinue reading “Still Waiting For New Ideas”
The Concept Of Municipal Homes Explained
In several posts from the summer of 2022 and even from before that, I’ve mentioned the concept municipal home. It comes from the history. Even before the Finnish welfare state, there were houses, where in general everybody, who couldn’t live on their own or with relatives were placed: the elderly, the disabled and the mentallyContinue reading “The Concept Of Municipal Homes Explained”
Looks Like A Write-Off
The following yearly check up was to a former mental asylum, which I had discovered back in 2021. I visited again in 2022 only to find out, that the former staff apartments had found new inhabitants. Since then it had been on the news, that the owner plans Airsoft games to be played in theContinue reading “Looks Like A Write-Off”
The Pile Is Something New
Yet again I am back at a familiar location. I’ve been to this mental asylum two times now, the previous one being in 2022. As I haven’t found a way in, I am back looking for one. Back then this pile of what looks like large plastic bags wasn’t present. I think somebody has sensedContinue reading “The Pile Is Something New”
Lakefront Plans Cancelled
The last location that evening was a mental asylum. Built in 1958 and closed in 2016 because they had difficulties attracting competent staff to the small town, it has stood empty ever since. A couple of years ago the town wanted to buy it from the hospital district, demolish it and plan lakefront housing onContinue reading “Lakefront Plans Cancelled”
In Good Care Part VII
Moving behind the row houses to see if I could find a way in through a back door. There are hundreds of doors. Why can’t I find an open one? Somebody still cuts the grass here. Another house. Moving on to the area where the houses for higher ranking hospital staff were. This probably isContinue reading “In Good Care Part VII”
The Yearly Check Up Led To Nothing
As I’ve said several times, whenever I can’t enter a location, I mark it up and return to it the following year. And that’s exactly why I’m here. These are the former staff apartments of a former mental asylum featured earlier in here. Sometimes, if nothing has changed since my previous visit, I don’t evenContinue reading “The Yearly Check Up Led To Nothing”
First Signs Of Vandalism Part II
The third building is also from the 1950’s I believe that it has originally been a staff apartment building. Moving around, checking doors. But finding nothing. The back of the 1980’s part. And the building I believe to be an apartment building. The facade of the main building. There were broken windows even in theContinue reading “First Signs Of Vandalism Part II”
Let’s Have A Look
Back again at the end of a nearly roadless road. I am here, because my friend sent me a tip about a former working colony of a a former mental asylum. The concept is a bit difficult to explain, but back in the days it was believed, that being useful and working was the keyContinue reading “Let’s Have A Look”
