An old, wooden house. But this is not what I came here for. This is what I came here for. An old municipal home built in 1940 and enlarged in the 1960’s. It was closed in 2014 and still served as a refugee center between 2015 and 2016 before being abandoned for good. In 2022Continue reading “I Don’t Think I Am Alone In Here”

Like No Time Had Passed
The rain was getting more intense, when I returned to yet another familiar location. This here is the nursing home I first discovered in 2022. I’ve returned to see, if I could find access now. The building was extremely large but only mostly featured one floor except for one wing. I can’t remember that brokenContinue reading “Like No Time Had Passed”
Embraced By Fjelds Part I
Some posts back I explained the concept of municipal homes and the fact that they usually are located in very remote places. This story is no different. The municipal home was actually built in 1927, but was destroyed by fire already back in 1929. The construction of a new building was started in 1948 onContinue reading “Embraced By Fjelds Part I”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part X
The dressing room was large, but featured lots of lockers. It was important to wash hands, it seems. What is a baby doll doing in the sink of a nursing home? “It’s nice to be a pig”. Well, we all have opinions. A toilet. I believe that this has been the common kitchen of theContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part X”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IX
The staff apartment corridor. And yeah, those really do look like apartment doors. For some reason their last use has had something to do with the wards in the newer wings of the house. The story goes on in here. So a storage room with seasonal decorations it is. A coat of arms. Always whenContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IX”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part VI
The next place to explore was the kitchen. The funny thing was, that it was located pretty far away from what I believe was the dining room, which was on the opposide site of the building. The kitchen was facing the front yard and the large cow shed. Back when the place was built, municipalContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part VI”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part V
And so I’ve reached the corridor between the 1954 built part and the 1980 built part. The old part is up front. The corridor led straight into a small lobby. So we’re starting with showers? Interesting. “Don’t leave useless stuff on the shelf”, says the cat. The room to the other direction looked a bitContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part V”
I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IV
Now moving on to Annintupa. Obviously this ward was for women. This ward was by far the largest so far. The purpose of this room was a bit unclear. A closer look at the paintings. I think these are oats. The first one of the patient rooms. It was as if the patient just leftContinue reading “I Prefer This Over Coffee Part IV”
In Good Care Part V
The following morning I had breakfast with my friend’s family the long way. We sat in the morning sun on the terrace with no horry having coffee. But eventually it was time to head towards new adventures. This was my first photo, because here I noticed the first difference since my previous visit. Massive pilesContinue reading “In Good Care Part V”
The Oldest Was The Most Lasting
Another familiar looking sight: an old municipal home enlarged and turned into a nursing home, when a nearby mental asylum was completed and the mentally ill were moved there. As the area is full of active social and health care buildings, we start our tour from the back. The old part built in 1953 wasContinue reading “The Oldest Was The Most Lasting”
