After the teachers’ common room we found some more wall art. Wonder why unicorns and rainbows always go together. This one looked like another classroom, but judging by the furniture it was rather a student union’s hangaround place. This paper might explain, why the school was abandoned. It’s a wellbeing survey, and the pupil tells,Continue reading “The Quiet School by the Market Square Part V”

The Quiet School by the Market Square Part III
The main stairway, like the one at the end of the building, was decorated with pupil made murals. We entered the first classroom and were disappointed. This one was exactly like all the previous ones. There was only more stuff left here than downstairs. Then we exited, and managed to have a look back towardsContinue reading “The Quiet School by the Market Square Part III”
The Quiet School by the Market Square Part II
In my previous post we explored a rather boring ground floor of an abandoned school. This time it’s time to start ascending the stairs. There were large pupil made murals in the staircase. They were all very well done and quite spectacular. The first floor corridor was emptier, yet darker than the one on theContinue reading “The Quiet School by the Market Square Part II”
The Prelude to a Discovery
Welcome to Southeastern Finland and Lake Saimaa. I spent a lot of time here during one especially dry and hot summer. As my blog is about photos and stories from abandoned places as well as my story of discovering those abandoned places, I decided to take this opportunity to promote this part of Finland aContinue reading “The Prelude to a Discovery”
Nightmares Revisited Part VII
So the time has come for the last post from the abandoned abattoir. At least for now. And it’s time to explore the garage and power station building. Most of the doors were locked and tightly sealed, so there was no access. Luckily not all of them. Even though the sign tells you to shutContinue reading “Nightmares Revisited Part VII”
Nightmares Revisited Part VI
Out we are again. The stairs and the platform next to the low wing part were all covered in glass. Down in the basement we go. This part of it had natural light coming in, and contained sinks and showers. This is apparently, where the butchers had washed themselves after a long day of hardContinue reading “Nightmares Revisited Part VI”
Nightmares Revisited Part V
Back down we go then. As the third floor had been all about apartments, I expected to find them on the second floor, too. This, however, proved not to be the case. What we found instead was an office space full of documents belonging to a company which had operated in the building after theContinue reading “Nightmares Revisited Part V”
Nightmares Revisited Part III
I have already reached the door. It wasn’t exactly difficult to get this far, as all doors so far had been wide open. I had previously been too afraid to even get to this point, now I was feeling just fine. And I was about to enter, for the first time in daylight. Like IContinue reading “Nightmares Revisited Part III”
Nightmares Revisited Part II
After leaving the low wing of the old abattoir, we headed towards the main building, which I had already once visited. A look back towards the direction we had entered the building from. It was supposed to be white, but its skin was peeling. Several Windows were broken. This one looks like it has beenContinue reading “Nightmares Revisited Part II”
Nightmares Revisited part I
More than a year had passed since my drunken nightly visit to the abattoir I was so afraid of. After the visit my nightmares abruptly stopped and the fear was completely gone. I told my colleague about the abattoir, the visit and my desire to further explore the place during daylight hours. She told meContinue reading “Nightmares Revisited part I”
