A friend of my daughter's moved to a municipality in the vicinity of Lahti last summer. Today, my daughter's friend invited her to her house. I drove my daughter up there. On the way home, I noticed an abandoned house. I had my camera with me. I'm going to share the pictures with you in this post. It was about quarter past three when I took these. The sun had just set and it was dark inside the house so I had to use the flash. How long do you think the house must have been uninhabited?
That's a very iffy looking porch I and knew I had to be careful.
Anybody home?
This house is beyond repair.
I don't think this house has power any longer.
My guess is that this house was built well before the war.
That can used to contain coffee.
The cellar.
Why is this hanging from the roof in the middle of the room?
The hearth
This type of sheet metal covered brick stove is quite common in older buildings here.
There used to be metal doors here.They were not on the floor.
"Bring your mattress."
The adjacent room. Looks like vandalism.
The planks looked too weak to step on. I had to backtrack my way out.
I always wonder about these abandoned houses too. If the foundation was solid the house can be repaired, believe it or not. They built old houses in such a way that modern houses would never survive, but these are still standing.
From the first picture this house looks very straight (roof lines, wall lines) most of the damage inside looks like water damage with the exception of the fireplace collapse. If a person got it for free it could be fixed, IMO. Solid materials were used in the construction!! Awesome find!

That's pretty cool I wouldn't have gone inside though

Too dangerous? Nobody has ever been charged for entering a building like this as long as they have not touched anything. I've done my homework. It's also part of the urban explorers' code not to broadcast the exact location of such buildings.

If the structure didn't look as sturdy as this one, you could possibly fear some collapse, snow on top and all.
In other rare cases, dangerous squatters. But that's not something I'd expect in Finland, to be honest and in a house so well ventilated during winter to boot.

It never occurred to me to be afraid of dangerous squatters or squatters of any kind for that matter. The temperature inside the house is the ambient temperature. The hearths were unusable. Such a rural community would not attract squatters anyway. Squatters tend to be found in big cities.

Yeah I would have been scared it would have collapsed on me or something.
