- Trees, flowers and bushes growing in the middle of the ruin. I guess this might give a hint, what earth would or will look like, when people are gone. - The house part in the subject line is just a wild guess as there's no way of really confirming what purpose this place once served. It might have been a villa or then again, it might be a part of some industrial complex, which is now long gone. Part of the fascination while looking these kind of buildings, comes from the fact, that you can use all the imagination you have and still you're as smart as when you started your day dreaming...you don't know a thing... - I noticed this place while we were coming to Vilnius for the first time. I had already made up my mind, that I absolutely need to find at least one place to take few pictures. I didn't have to explore too far actually, as this was very visible from the bus window, while we were closing the bus station. - Almost too easy... - It's now in the middle of the city and the surroundings also are not in a brand new condition. However, at least the surrounding buildings are still standing and have a roof on top, unlike this one.

- Even when we were able to roam freely in the meadow where this ruin is, just keeping an eye to the hobos who were also roaming there, it still was not possible to get a look inside of the walls. The thing is, that I was determined to take a look inside, but when we started to approach the ruin, a horrible scent started to get stronger and stronger and finally when I was at the door, I almost threw up as I finally found out what purpose the place serves...it's a earth-closet for the hobos who also enjoy the meadow... |

- Interesting looking chimney and part of the reason why I mentioned the industrial part. However now that I've been looking at the picture a longer time, I think that the place once has been a magnificent villa. The lavish stairs have been located here and only the second pillar is missing, which along with the remaining pillar, was holding the roof on top of the entrance. |
