Tyskmagasinen, Historic warehouse in Karlshäll, Luleå, Sweden.

Two large red wooden warehouses stood near the water's edge, measuring the size of two football fields in total area.

Built in 1912 as part of Sweden's first wood pulp mill, the warehouses stored German supplies during World War II for troops in Norway and Finland.

The buildings served as a transit point for 25,000 Russian prisoners of war in 1945 as they returned from Norway to the Soviet Union.

The warehouses, managed by Friends of the Malmbanan Railway, stored vintage trains and railway equipment until their destruction in 2016.

The fire in June 2016 consumed both buildings and approximately 500 meters of historic railway equipment stored within their walls.
