Satulinna is a manor house situated on the shores of Lake Ryökäsvesi, featuring neoclassical architecture with crystal chandeliers and multiple function rooms. The building provides accommodation for 75 guests and event spaces that can hold up to 80 people.
The manor house was founded in 1928 as a municipal facility for elderly residents and psychiatric patients, operating in this capacity until 1992. After the end of its original purpose, the property transformed into a hotel.
The manor became widely known as a filming location for multiple seasons of the Finnish television show 'Vain Elämää', which focuses on music and personal stories. This exposure has made the house a recognized place in local culture.
The property includes lakeside saunas and recreational facilities suitable for summer and winter activities. The manor operates as a full-service venue, so visitors should check ahead to confirm availability for their intended visit.
In 2008, President Martti Ahtisaari selected the manor to host a four-day seminar focused on resolving the Iraq conflict. This selection for such a major international discussion highlights the house's standing as a notable venue.
