The hospital just continues. This wing is the absolute back side of the old part with only one entrance. Again it was closed. Behind the hospital was another building. It seemed to contain the power station and techincal department. The building followed the architecture of the older part of the hospital. So it must beContinue reading “Mental Asylum Area Part II”

The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part IV
Moving behind the row house shows, that again there is one more floor partly buried underground. And behind it was a second, one storey row house. It was extremely long. There was quite an amount of staff apartments in this location. Some of the aparments had been broken into. But the staff had also closedContinue reading “The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part IV”
The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part III
The auxiliary wing and the old fashioned chimney here again. And the main building and main entrance seen from this side. Another view slightly left from the previous one. An interesting looking building behidnd the hospital. The clock tower suggests that this may be the chapel of the hospital. And although it looks old, itContinue reading “The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part III”
The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part II
The first views from the lakeside. A fun fact is, that one of the staff apartment row houses is still inhabited and is right behind me. The taller wing. A glimpse of the tallest wing can be seen right next to the light post. The part connecting two wings of the building. Still no openContinue reading “The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part II”
The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part I
And here I am standing at the gates of yet another mental asylum. If the map looks a bit funny in some points, don’t worry. I’ve just edited out all road names, the name of the hospital and the name of the location. Closest to the entrance was the technical wing with the boiler room,Continue reading “The Sun Is Setting On This Mental Asylum Part I”
I Never Promised You A Rose Garden
I spent a nice day out in the city of Mikkeli meeting both the friends I went to a mental asylum with the previous summer. We played minigolf (I won), we bowled (I won) and finally went out for drinks and karaoke. Contrary to my usual drinking habits, I stayed sober, as I planned onContinue reading “I Never Promised You A Rose Garden”
Greeting A Childhood Friend
So I finally got to the place, where I was supposed to be an hour ago. I chose to visit a childhood friend with whom I went to school between 1996 and 2005. She had become a psychiatric nurse, worked at a mental asylum and lived next to a former one. And this means, thatContinue reading “Greeting A Childhood Friend”
Second Summer, Still No Open Doors
As my tour the previous summer had been so extensive, I had managed to accumulate a comprehensive list of locations, which I wasn’t able to explore the previous summer, but would give them another go. This mental asylum was one of them. As I’ve told its history in a previous post, I won’t go backContinue reading “Second Summer, Still No Open Doors”
A Guide To Karelia Part IV
We were already on our way back home, and my friend had listened to a lot of my stories about abandoned places in Northern Karelia. Among all the places we had been to, we had visited the Mätäsvaara mining village and Mätäsvaara molybdenum mine both featured in my galleries earlier. And finally I heard theContinue reading “A Guide To Karelia Part IV”
What A Beautiful Morning Part XI
The entrance to the basement of the burned section didn’t look very tempting. Neither did the entrance to the intact part. For some reason I decided to go have a look. Here we have the boiler room. Now this is interesting. The boiler has been inspected in 1993 due to a boiler change. Even inContinue reading “What A Beautiful Morning Part XI”
