Erkylä Manor, Cultural Heritage Site of National Significance in Hausjärvi, Finland

The main building features light-colored plaster walls, large semicircular windows, and projecting bay windows, designed by architect A.F. Granstedt in the 1840s.

The estate originated as Apola's horse farm in the 1540s and expanded into a significant manor under General Johan Reinhold Munck, chancellor of Helsinki University.

In 1857, the manor established Eskon School near Lake Erkylä, providing education for local farmworkers' children through a Swiss-style teaching method.

The manor complex includes the main residence, Gothic-style farm buildings, and a landscaped park that extends toward Lake Erkylä with marked pathways.

Four German soldiers who fell during the Battle of Erkylä on April 21, 1918, rest in marked graves within the manor's park grounds.
