Kesäranta, Official residence in Meilahti, Helsinki, Finland
The wooden structure stands on the waterfront at Kesärannantie 2, featuring a tower, veranda, and views across Seurasaarenselkä bay.
Built in 1873 by architect Frans Ludvig Calonius as a summer villa, the Finnish State purchased the property in 1904 for the Governor-General.
The residence maintains Finnish governmental traditions through informal summer meetings established by Prime Minister Aimo Cajander in the 1930s.
The property includes multiple facilities such as a seaside sauna, maintenance building, guard house, pavilion, jetty, and tennis court.
The residence received a commemorative blue sign marked with '100' in 2017 to celebrate Finland's century of independence.
