STORY
Nanny, a kind and caring Swedish woman, was the final resident of this gorgeous home located in the secluded northern region of Sweden. She had been widowed for many years after losing her husband, but still chose to live in the house they once shared together. But she never felt lonely. Nanny was the most amazing grandma anyone could ask for. She cherished having her grandchildren over and took a genuine interest in each of them. The walls of her house were adorned with countless memories, drawings, and photos from their time together.
Once a bustling home for many people, this house now lies deserted and desolate. Its story traces back to the mid-1800s when the first generation of owners established a Sawmill in the backyard and built the house that still stands today. The trade was passed down through generations, and this family enjoyed a prosperous life.
However, as industrialization took over, the demand for mills decreased until eventually the last operator, Nanny's husband, passed away. Nanny was the final resident to leave, and she passed away in 2001. With her passing, almost 200 years of family history were left behind.
To our surprise, everything was still intact. We even stumbled upon some coins and bills in the Swedish currency.
Join us as we step inside and reveal the untold tale of Nanny.

The red candelabra on the table is used to celebrate the light and advent. Usually, these lights are kept in a window and are a welcoming sign for people during the dark, long winters.

It breaks my heart💔..Nanny spent so much time loving and caring for her beloved family and they cannot come together and honor her memory by taking care of all of her things..they just leave it there to decay..it's so sad..😢 it's almost like she doesn't really even matter..but I hope that isn't the case..

@duckyseventy7vigar487 Ай бұрын

Her children and grandchildren clearly meant the world to her. With so many memories left to decay, it seems the feeling wasn't mutual, which is a real shame. There are so many people that can only dream to have been raised in such a loving family environment. I guess that's today's generation for you. 😢

@berthagreen1620 Ай бұрын

As a grandmother, it breaks my heart to see this. All the love she gave to her family , yet not one was kind enough to keep any memories of their life with her. I hope that at least one of my grandkids has the heart to save some souvenirs. I love music boxes , sorry Danny. Imagine the cleanup you would have to do. Todays cars would be rusted right out.

@user-xe8tp1fs1k Ай бұрын

I'm grateful that my late uncle's widow sold my grandfather's farm to my great nephew. He and his wife have been giving it new life, including their new son, to continue the family ownership. The house was built in the 1800s and deserves to be maintained. The beams are tree trunks, and the foundation is huge rocks.

Hi Leslie and Danny, 20 years has gone by, they kids couldn't decide whether to keep it or sell it. So, mother nature made the decision for them. It can't be sold or kept. I just can't believe that they at least didn't go in and collect the family photos, and somethings that Nanny held close. Their fighting has destroyed generations of this family's legacy. She loved her family so much, and this is how they repay her love. Great explore guys, thanks for sharing. Love from N.Y.

I do not understand how family members can leave pictures of their family in abandoned homes Pictures cannot be replaced, never. They should be passed down from generation to generation forever. So sad 😞 Thank you guys for another great video.

Well they should at least save all items that can still be saved. Sell the land or buy each other out if someone wants it .while they are acting disrespectful to whom ever had this. To just act selfish and let all her memories rot to the ground..Shame on them.

I live near Atlanta. There is a beautiful old home not too far from us that was a sharecropper farm. The home is a magnificent two story with large porch with columns, wide hallways, large rooms, once beautiful woodwork. It’s empty. The man who owns it refuses to sell for some reason and the house is crumbling and decaying year by year. Vandals have broken the windows and it’s boarded up. It absolutely breaks my heart that he won’t sell it to the many who would like to save it.

И мне это непонятно, она так любила своих внуков, а они даже не забрали фотографии из дома. Очень печальное зрелище. Неужели потомки не хотят забрать какую-то вещь себе на память о бабушке? Как будто каждое новое поколение не имеет никаких предков. Всегда жизнь с чистого листа

@d.g.ph.d.2220 Ай бұрын

If I'm not misreading into this lady's legacy along with her husband and their family mill business, the estate likely had no concise Will and yet its ownership was contested. Then again, it might not have had left behind a more specific ownership. Quite possibly too, the person(s) who might've been executor or executrix intended to sell it but didn't. So many legal or financial difficulties could've stood in the way. However unfortunate and sad, it would've been lovely to see this family's memories maintained.

I love your exploration of this home. What I noticed about this home is how mostly clean and neat it is after all these years and how efficiently constructed it is. The decorations and designs of the home remind me of my grandparents home. It makes me think of two adages from my German grandmother. She said the floor must be clean enough to eat off of and efficiency is the first step to success. This home truly is a reflection of these sayings.

I don’t know how many children and grandchildren Nanny had but if they loved her half as much as she loved them the home she cherished wouldn’t be in this horrible state! And to think this property had been in the family many years. All the family memories wrapped up in the photos. I don’t know what the tax laws are in Sweden,but keep or sell, some agreement should have been arrived at so family could have removed items and family mementos. I would have been one not wanting to sell, but if it meant it would be a home for another family and not become a pile of garbage I’d agree to it. This is sad😞

Hi Lesley and Danny, Such a sweet family to discover that resided and visited there, and it’s heart wrenching that there’s issues around this abandoned place, one part of the family want to keep the property, but the finances to support it are too expensive, and the other part of the family want to sell it off. But memories are there, and they should be able to collect up the special collectives, but would need a special place to display their memorabilia👍🌸🌼✅🐎💖🙏

Wonderful explore video in that abandoned Swedish house. I loved listening to your heartwarming introduction, beautifully underlined with lovely background music. Also Danny did again an excellent job with his camera! Some nice looking beautiful rooms with a legit timecapsule vibe. - It's on the other hand really sad, that the children are not finding an ageement how to take over that house, which is of course sadly and inevitably decaying rather quickly. Your question if the last owner might have been a hoarder, is really justified considering the disorder and the enormous amounts of stuff cluttering the house in some parts. Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards from now quite sunny and warm Switzerland.
