TALLINN, ESTONIA HISTORY ABANDONED: PALDISKI 52

Published on May 15, 2023April 30, 2023 by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

The area known as Paldiski 52, which is located next to the Hippodroom in Tallinn, Estonia, has a fascinating history. The area was once home to a large Soviet military base, which was established in the 1940s and played an important role in the Soviet Union’s military operations throughout the region.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the military base was largely abandoned, and many of its buildings fell into disrepair. Now, there’s an eerie, haunting vibe.

TALLINN, ESTONIA 🇪🇪 HISTORY ABANDONED: POINT. S GAS STATION

“𝑨𝒃𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑷𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆.”

This gas station “Point.S” was built in the 1970s during the Soviet era, and it served as a refueling station for military vehicles and equipment.
After Estonia regained its independence in 1991, the gas station was privatized and only continued to operate for a few more years. Point.S was forced to shut down in the early 2000s. Since then, the gas station has remained abandoned and has continued to exemplify Soviet architecture.
