So, a rather large building not featured here earlier. This here is the former storage and office building of the local co-operative store. It was built in 1952 and abandoned around 2019. Although it is pretty much unique, it has a valid demolition permit. The paintings on the wall are also very well made. TheContinue reading “It’s A Landmark Whether You Like It Or Not”

Opening The Mail
Back at another familiar location. This here is the former post and telegram office of a small municipality, which was originally built by a pharmacist in 1925 and served as a pharmacy. It has been featured earlier in here. The building is located in a very central location, but is covered by bushes. As usualContinue reading “Opening The Mail”
A Neglected Treasure Part II
A large window. And a chair. More chairs. The building had been abandoned for a long time and was in a very bad condition. Another room. And another kitchen. It seems, that there were three apartments downstairs. One in the former post office and two in the apartment section. The paint cans again indicate, thatContinue reading “A Neglected Treasure Part II”
A Neglected Treasure Part I
The first photo of this post is of a dilapidated wooden building. I first thought of it as a house, but it rather seems to be the auxiliary building to another one. Which is here. The building was completed in 1945 to be the home and office of the local rural police chief. The buildingContinue reading “A Neglected Treasure Part I”
I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part IV
I didn’t bother taking any outside photos of the doctor’s office building. This one is from the small wooden annex in the back. Clearly even it has served as an office. The office opened up to a small corridor. And along the corridor were of course more office rooms. As a new health care centerContinue reading “I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part IV”
I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part III
The top of the stairs. There seemed to even be an attic. The sign says that this is the closed ward. This must be some work place humour, as this has been an office building, not a hospital. The parking lot of the store next door seen through the windows. This was the main reasonContinue reading “I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part III”
I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part II
My former boss has a Midsummer tradition. Yearly their family and a family they know go to my boss’ summerplace to eat, bath sauna, swim and chill. And in the past years we have had an even stranger tradition: I crash in the middle of this tradition. After visiting the town hall, I called themContinue reading “I’ll Be Back After The Sauna Part II”
The Town Hall Still In Waiting
Yet another old friend of mine, which I’ve come to visit again hoping for better successes than the previous time. This is the former town hall, which I found two years earlier. It had stood empty for years waiting for demolition, but not much seemed to happen. And unfortunately the buildings seemed as closed asContinue reading “The Town Hall Still In Waiting”
Over The Hills And Far Away Part V
The garage wing extended well back to the end of the yard. There was another open door back there. The toilets in the apartments inside the building lacked showers. Well, there was a sauna back here, where the inhabitants could was themselves. The dressing room. And the washroom with the all too familiar hexagonal tiles.Continue reading “Over The Hills And Far Away Part V”
Over The Hills And Far Away Part IV
Now I did promise you something very special. Here it is. Condoms, which have expired in 1997. They are on top of a destroyed TV set and some letters to the apparently last inhabitant of the apartment. Old chairs and a broken guitar. My mother always did tell me, that playing guitar will get meContinue reading “Over The Hills And Far Away Part IV”
