The abandoned hydropower lab

Sometimes you just come across places that you never ever been thinking about that they ever existed, such as this hydropower- and water turbine lab. However, when wandering around these dark and empty premises, you get a historical reminder about the pioneering work that has been performed here over the years. Sweden has a very high percentage of its electricity generated from hydropower and presumably this place has been the birthplace of some new and innovative designs. Today, the place is in a late stage of decay and presumably it will be gone in a near future. It's pitch dark in there and the floors are really rotten - I almost killed myself when a wooden floor broke under me.
