So the basement featured a small corridor. Let’s see, what’s behind that door. Another classroom it is. It looks like a jungle gym has been on the wall. This must be the former gym of the school. But there also seems to have been a blackboard. So this room has served several purposes. This looksContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part II”

A Tip From A Friend Part I
So here I am at the school, which was tipped by a friend. It seems to have turned into a garbage dump. The school was closed in 2005. The lot is actually for sale, and the building’s condition is listed as good. I would like to disagree. I mean, if the condition was good, I’dContinue reading “A Tip From A Friend Part I”
The Northernmost Point Part II
And inside I am. this is the former lobby of the school and the living room of the hostel. And one of the former classrooms. Which has also served as a gym, it seems. Drawings of an apartment. Apparently it is the teachers’ apartment upstairs. At least the window layout hints at that. The secondContinue reading “The Northernmost Point Part II”
The Northernmost Point Part I
So here I am in a small village in the middle of nowhere. And this is the school of the village. It looks like it has been built in the 1940’s or 1950’s, but it was definitely closed in 1998. After that it served as a hostel of some sort. I am here, because IContinue reading “The Northernmost Point Part I”
Visible During Winter Only Part II
An old stove. This indicates, that the teacher’s apartment has indeed been here upstairs. The upstairs lobby. I first found the handrail in the middle of it rather strange, until I realized, that the side stairway had a similar one. The main stairway of the school had been located here, but closed at some point.Continue reading “Visible During Winter Only Part II”
Testing The Third Curse
Well, well, well, isn’t that the cursed school? The old and creepy place, which I first visited in 2017 and finally finished the exploration in 2022. There was an old barrack on the yard, which I explored back in 2021. So why am I back? Haven’t I seen it all already? Well, no. There’s stillContinue reading “Testing The Third Curse”
So Ancient, That It Wasn’t On The Internet Part II
The other building was in a much better shape. I suspect, that it has been a teacher apartment building, why else would a house with two apartments have been built here. These two photos have been taken from the main road once running through the area. It has become a rose garden. The other endContinue reading “So Ancient, That It Wasn’t On The Internet Part II”
So Ancient That It Wasn’t On The Internet Part I
I have a friend I’ve known since my student years. We met through student politics, were never close, but shared a fandom towards old Volvos. We gradually started talking on Instagram and he started following my roadtrips. He told me, that his girlfriend originally came from a small rural village, and he could ask hisContinue reading “So Ancient That It Wasn’t On The Internet Part I”
The World’s Slowest Demolition Operation
Time to go and have a look at another familiar location. This here is the former community college, I’ve visited many times before. Demolition started way back in 2020. It was now July 2023, and they still hadn’t managed to tear the three buildings down. In fact compared with these photos from the spring ofContinue reading “The World’s Slowest Demolition Operation”
Missed It Again
Having again read the news, I heard of a new elementary school built in a village, which former was a center of a small municipality. The building of the new school in such small places almost always means the demolition of the old school. And again I felt sorry about the beautiful old 1950’s schoolContinue reading “Missed It Again”
