kruunuvuori.


me and Jacopo had finally the chance to visit kruunuvuori last thursday!

photographs were taken with a 1600 color sensia - which was perfect for the dark rainy day plus a few instax shots.
as soon as my professor Catherine told me about kruunuvuori I decided I wanted to take a trip there with Jacopo: there is something mysterious and beautiful about this place that not even the photographs could give away totally.
I advise you to visit it yourselves!

  1. I am really happy of this trip, I think it was kinda magical there, all these wooden mökkis in ruin, the forest, the sea. Wonderful (: (:

  2. it was absolutely one of the best places we have visited together. probably as beautiful as the abandoned school in switzerland... or maybe even more interesting? the forest was magic. let's go back 1000 times more! :)

  14. the place is magical, but the story is rather simple and in a way sad, as far as I know...
    the houses were all summer houses belonging to noble/rich people who were mostly swedish and german - before the 2nd world war apparently it was popoular for them to have their summer vacation in helisnki area.
    I assume that as the years passed by the money to take care of the houses became less and less and they just let them died away slowly.
    one of them tho appeared in quite good condition and I believe that someone must be taking care of it and still living in it over the summer?
