Today I take you to the largest abandoned
property I've explored on my last trip to Sweden. Buried in trees and roots, lies this mysterious
building. Rumors have it that the former inhabitants
once left with the northern sun, never giving any signs of life again. It's an enigmatic place. With all the belongings left behind of them
and even the power still working, I wonder what happened to the faces in these photos. Today I take you on that quest for an answer
as I venture my way inside this former Swedish family's home. (♫ Intro Opener Sweden Series: FORNDOM - Jakten) So, there we are again inside of another abandoned
place in Sweden, and this is actually the biggest place you've seen so far during the
Sweden series! This is not one of these small cottages, not
just a small house... no, this is a mansion with an actual very mysterious story. Nobody knows where the former owners or occupants
have gone. Apparently, they just disappeared overnight,
and literally, everything inside is just left behind and left forgotten. So, we are currently actually in the basement. There are a lot of mechanical things actually
here. We also notice that there are many beer cans. So, that might be a sign that a homeless person
has actually found a shelter here. Not a very comfortable feeling, but we already
did a quick overview here to ensure that we are safe and we are alone and we actually
are. So, let's continue, and let's take you on
a tour throughout this place. This is just the basement, but what's about
to follow will absolutely spark your mind as much as it did to me! Well, over here's just a lot stored in these
boxes. Some paint and everything. Then, if we go to this room over here there
is actually still a lot of storage of liquor bottles and drinks. Have a look - a lot of food as well on the
shelves. So much stuff. There's actually a dead end with some other
boxes where they just randomly stored a lot of things inside - some bottles here, even
some eggs... but they're not inside anymore. This is actually one of those old milk cans. And then, follow me along to the actual mansion
itself. We walk up the stairs. Look over here. Actually, some very very dirty boots. That's not the only thing because it's literally
still full of all of their shoes. This was actually a Swedish family's mansion
and still, everything from them is left behind. It's just incredible that they're all still
laying there where they used to belong one day. And then, follow me along inside the mansion
itself! Okay, this was actually the hallway where
the people once used to come inside of their home each and every day. We've seen these candle lights multiple times
now in Swedish homes so, it seems to be a recurrent item inside. You are truly gonna love this place! I actually never knew that places like this
actually existed in Sweden. This was a part of a cat shelter, these people
actually had a pet - they had a cat. A tiny heater here. Also, look at the unique staircase going up. Wow, there are still some pots with flowers
hanging up. Some fake flowers, of course, because otherwise,
they would have been dry and barren now. A tiny mirror over here. And still, again, some shoes but also the
coats are hanging up here! So, let's just walk inside this room. Over here you can already clearly see a lot
of damage because of leakage problems with the roof. At this point, the roof is collapsed and there
is a connection with the outside. So, there is cold air and rainwater coming
inside. That's actually causing a lot of harm to the
property, sadly enough. The place is only abandoned since 2014 which
means it has been abandoned for six years now and we found one name of a man: Mr. Johan. So, Mr. Johan must have lived here together
with his family. I think they also definitely had children
because it is a mansion of huge size especially for a country like Sweden. Oh, that's actually New York City on that
poster - the Brooklyn bridge! There are a lot of socks right over here. Also, all these necklaces. Probably from the woman Wow! Look over there. It's quite an old-fashioned telephone. I'm wondering if that's a push-button, I do
think so. Also, a lot of books on these shelves. They must have loved to spend their time reading. A tiny clock on top again, next to a candle
holder with some real candles still inside. Over here we can see an old photo of the couple
right in front of the property. That's actually the front facade, and that's
them: the man wearing a gentle suit, the woman just laughing. It seems to be on a nice sunny summer day,
and then now many years later this is just what's left their home. So, Sarah actually just took a look here on
the desk - a more detailed look. She's my sidekick now, and she actually found
a lot of educational things from school. Oh, it is from biology lessons! Look over here, it's actually the anatomy
of the eye, and this is actually the brain. So, this must have been from the children
who are still studying. I'm wondering why they never saved their parents'
home. Maybe they went studying in a town further
away because the place is actually located quite in the middle of nowhere again. There are not many houses in the neighborhood
of this property. So yeah, with that being said, from this room
and the stair hall we actually going to make our way straight away. You can also see the paint peeling off from
the doors, and over here's again a leakage problem. Somebody has actually has put some buckets
right on the ground here to collect the rainwater that's falling down. But right above us, there is actually a bathroom
and the floor is very very weak. So, look over here! This might have been another school desk with
still all the pens and the pencils inside. Somebody was just working here in front of
the window which back then actually had a magnificent view. And right now, it's literally just vegetation
and it's completely overgrown. Over here's still all their kitchen equipment. Like literally, all is left. What a shame. It's overstuffed. I can't believe it. So then, actually, the kitchen part... with
a lot of products still just on top of the sink. Even some old food products and vegetables. But it's so beautiful how this home, actually,
remained so untouched during all those years. And there is one other crazy effect which
you are about to see in a minute. Ah, yikes! Even over here, still, vegetables inside,
and Nutella. This one won't open but that might be a medicine
shaft with some medicines inside. And have a look at this very very cozy dining
part. It's actually so cute. This still looks like a homely place and I'm
wondering why it was never saved. So, let's check out all these cabinets. Wow! Again still, all is left. All the plates are just inside as it was left
yesterday. I've got so many questions why...? What happened with the Swedish family? Why did they have to leave or why did they
leave? And then again, why was their home never saved? I wish I knew more about the history but I
just don't. It's somehow also sometimes quite frustrating
to me. So, over here is again some pet food for a
cat. The oven. Also, over here, some tiny ornaments on top. It seems that the family traveled a lot. The chicken is a souvenir from Portugal. We also found some money from Greece, so,
they liked traveling, especially inside Europe. Haha, those are actually all like spices and
nuts. My gosh, there's even still coffee and everything
left. This might have been a drink from the children. It's like chocolate milk. Over here's a pizza slicer, bottle openers,
the spatulas... still, all of them are on the wall. Okay, and now comes a crazy fact. I'm gonna turn off my lights and have a look
at the telephone over here! Yes, that's right. It is still turned on. Electricity is still working in this place
at some points, and this actually would mean that I could call/dial someone of their contacts
or their relatives right now. I'm not gonna do that, of course, but it's
actually such a crazy fact. Oh... you heard that noise? Haha, that's actually what scared us in the
beginning, but yeah, when we saw the neglected state of the place and, yeah, it was just
very evident to us that this place was not livable anymore, and already left a few years
ago. I think those are also some telephone books
with numbers. Wow, also look over here. There's this statue. Right over here is another cabinet, and again,
a lot of food is still inside just rotting away. It's actually quite repulsive. And of course, with still some working electricity,
food left behind, and, yeah, a quite dust-free environment, this is the perfect shelter for
a homeless person and I cannot blame him that he actually found a shelter here because people,
actually, belong inside a home and not on the street, and the property's just left unloved
anyway. So, the last calendar date's July 2014. So, that's over six years ago now. We are here in November 2020. Still, some jackets over here. This one looks quite hipster with all the
colors. Also, many more boots and shoes are just on
the ground. It definitely was a family that consisted
of a lot of family members. They might even had up to three children. This was a tiny bathroom with a toilet. There's also a little shower cabin, and again,
this was actually for the cat. Even the soaps and the shower gel are still
there. I actually didn't test if the water was still
running but this is very very rusty. You can actually not switch it. Ah, there we go! But no, water is turned off. "Head and Shoulders" shampoo. And many more other grooming products in this
basket there. So, Sarah actually just found out about the
woman's name. Her name was Margareta. So, it was Johan and Margareta, and I think
also multiple children that were living inside of this home. So, let's continue from the kitchen now, and
this is actually a dining part. You can tell that there are some signs of
vandalism, sadly enough. Some candles over here. Okay, are you ready for another crazy fact?! Check this out. The fridge is even still turned on. It's filled with ice. There is so much coldness coming out. I don't get it. I really really don't get it. But anyway, there is even a sound system over
here. Maybe you can also turn this on. Oh, it turns on! I don't hear anything. Maybe the speakers are not connected but it's
even still on. You can see the lights here. I'm turning it off again because I don't want
this place to burn down or something to happen with it. I just wish it will be preserved in time and,
hopefully, one day it will find a new owner. So, there will be someone to put life back
in this place once again. Over there are, actually, some real plants
against the window. You can tell they haven't been watered for
a long time. (♫ Cinematic music) Alright, time to continue to the next room,
and this is actually the grand living room. Again, it's so well kept in time, and I think
this is one of my favorite rooms. The curtains over here on the side, the plants,
and actually right above me, we can see the couple, Johan and Margareta, on their wedding
day. They look happily in love. And right now, it actually feels that we are
just gloomily enough, but we are exploring the aftermath of their lives. About what's left behind. And also everything about their family is
displayed over here on the wall. A lot of old memories. It seems that those were all their family
ancestors. Right against the window over here, actually,
an Asian artifact - the elephant in a vase. We've seen it so many times before, and it's
actually a souvenir from Asia. So, that's another sign that they just love
traveling. Look at the sofa over here. Also again, some old photos here. This must have been in Sweden too. This might have been Mr. Johan when he was
still younger, right in the Swedish forest. Look at the beautiful chandelier. You will be surprised by the treasures that
are just left inside of this home. Trust me, just keep watching the video. Please, already smash the thumbs up to support
if you enjoy this video and, yeah, we are continuing now with some other beautiful old
photos! A woman and a man. And I think this was again Mr. Johan and Mrs.
Margareta because they definitely look familiar as they do on the wedding picture. Over here's, actually, a fireplace in the
corner. Haha, these dolls look so cute. Actually, look how this girl is giggling. And then, another porcelain china elephant. This one looks similar to the one we found
in a castle in Germany, and that face which the lamp actually used to be on top of it,
and so it would be one piece. And then, look right over here. We're not done yet because look - there's
even a violin left behind. Just incredible! Maybe from some of the children that used
to be very very musical, or maybe of course, from Johan or Margareta. Who knows? I can't tell. I'm just assuming. Just trying to get an image of how the life
these people actually used to look like. There are again some old photos. I think this was their son, at least one of
them. Over here is a newspaper from 2006. I think the beautiful woman that we see in
this picture here was the mother of Mr. Johan or Mrs. Margareta. She was probably already deceased before they
actually passed away. There are so many things to show you. Here on the floor, it's actually really wet. So, another sign of leakage damage here from
the ceiling panels. Look at the clock over here. Oh, yeah, and this is the Greece money I was
talking about! It actually says "50" with some Greece signs. I don't know if it's worth a lot. I've never been to Greece, but this is another
sign that they must have loved traveling. I actually think Greece has the euro now. Correct me if I'm wrong but if that's the
case then this is a very old billiet. Wow, look at this entrance with the ivy on
top! It actually looks very fairytale-like. Over here, again, some old photos. These might have been their children again
or some grandchildren. There's also a huge oriental fan on top. So, yeah, these people definitely also traveled
to Asia. Over here the angels. Actually, used as a candle holder. And then, it's time to walk underneath the
fairy-like entrance I was talking about. And that will actually lead us to another
room. Again, very very untouched. In the corner, there is the typical Swedish
stove. With some nice details on it. And also look at the side of the walls. They actually painted shells, like a sea theme. Those were all, in general, wood-burning stoves. You could open them like this. Ah, this one is stuck. I'm not doing it, but you could put some wood
inside and it would actually cause the place to be nice and warm which is very very necessary
because in Sweden it gets very cold during wintertime. Oh! There is another music instrument on the ground. Oh, an electric guitar! Wow, it's still in the case. Alright, let's close it again. Let's hope no one damaged it or steals it. A television over here. And again, there are even more books. Wow, there's actually a globe here. This is where we are right now: Sweden. I've actually never ever in my life been this
north on planet earth. I just realized it now, but it's actually
a fact. Over here's another crate for the cat. And it continues. There is even more lecture material. It's sad to see the books left behind too. The television is also still working. If I push the button, you will see the light
turning on. Let's see... there we go! However, nothing to watch on the television
today. So, let's turn it off again. There is no need for television because hopefully,
everyone is tuned in right now during this memorable exploration here in Sweden. And I do have a feeling that this is a place
that also has never been shown before on YouTube. So, I sincerely hope you are enjoying it. And then, actually, I come back to the room
you saw during the beginning with the heavy decay and the books on the side, and the old
phone. So, there's actually a little chest and it's
full of maps of the complete world. So, those were definitely some travel plans
of the people about - okay, what destination will be next on the list? Actually, it sounds a little bit like me when
I'm also traveling like - okay, let's see where I'm going, let's check it out! Yeah, that must have been where these people
had a big passion for. Okay, so, the last thing that's left for us
inside this wonderful abandoned mansion is checking out the last floor. We're walking upstairs. I gotta admit the rooms on this floor are
messier and not as pristine as the downstairs floors but of course, I want to be as thorough
as possible. So, I'm still going to show it. At this point, I have to be careful because
the floor is very close to collapse here. You might not see it but I feel it. The floor is very very weak. All empty. Well, this is actually a bedroom. There are two beds Again, so many shoes. They definitely belonged to a woman. A fur coat over here. Over here's yet another bathroom. I really like the bathtub but I cannot walk
inside this place because it's literally close to collapse. It's where the leakage problem is located. It's such a great experience just wandering
around this abandoned mansion here in Sweden. Again, some leakage problems here. And there's one other room here. It seems that the children actually moved
outside of the home earlier and they might start thereafter to use the children's bedrooms
as rooms for storage. That's maybe how they turned out to be slightly
messy and unorganized. There's a racket laying on the ground here. Some other ones right over there. Look at the lamp. Some Swedish cartoons: "Bamse". I've never seen this but might be something
Swedish. And there are a few other rooms. Ah... also, some damage here in the ceiling
- very sad. This room doesn't look too well either. I was wondering what's inside of this box
it's quite heavy, to be honest. Oh, okay, let's check it out if I can open
it now. This is open, this is open, that side is open... Oh, wow! Look! This is actually very very unique. This is also a record player inside of this
suitcase. "Picadilly" it's saying. It looks like this is a quiet vintage piece. You could also use this handle I think to
turn the record, wow. And inside of here, you could actually put
the records in this case. I want to close it again but it seems very
stuck. I don't want to break it. There we go! That was a cool find. I've not seen something like that many times
before. Well, then it's time to show you the last
room in this huge abandoned mansion. Actually, for Swedish means, this is a very
very big abandoned property, and especially in this untouched state. So, yeah, the last room was mainly again used
for storage. There's also one of these presses for clothes. You could turn the wheel, squeeze the clothes
in between it, and it would actually squeeze the wetness outside of the clothes. Oh, how sad... On the ground, there is actually a dead bird. It must have flown inside and never found
a way out. Rest in peace. Another sign that whatever you are... whether
you're an animal or a human person, life is not an eternal value. One day we all leave, also like Mr. Johan
and Mrs. Margareta. And then, your property might end up like
this, of course, you don't hope so but it can always happen. Anyway... Oh! I touched something. Hmm, yeah, I think this is the end of the
video. I truly enjoyed this place and I hope you
