Open the Sealed Door of the House of Gottfred. An Abandoned Mansion on the Saskatchewan Prairies.

The journey starts on a ship from Russia in the late 1800's and ends on the snow covered prairies of a Saskatchewan cemetery in 2025. Gottfred Schimpf built this house for his large family and was sold in 1921 to Gottfred Brunner who then passed it to his son, Gottfred Brunner Jr. Explore the dark rooms, dusty cellar and drafty attic. For now, the house of Gottfred stands silently on the snowy prairies of Saskatchewan. If you or anyone you know has an abandoned house in your area that needs documenting before it's gone, please message me and I can capture its history. This costs you nothing and will help in preserving our history on the prairies. Thank you - Robert Scott Permission required. I don't give out the location or landowner information, thanks for understanding.
