Vääksy manor

Vääksy Manor is an estate in Kangasala with a main residence and several outbuildings typical of Finnish rural estates from earlier centuries. The complex includes exhibition spaces showing objects and documents from different periods of life on the land.

The estate was established during the period when Finnish manor houses organized rural life and continued in this role for several centuries. The building style and expansions of the structures reflect changes in Finnish economy and society over time.

The manor reveals through its displays how the ruling families and their staff lived and worked together on the estate. The rooms show everyday life in a Finnish manor across different time periods.

The estate is best reached via Route 12 coming from Tampere direction, as this road runs through the area. It is open during set hours, and it is recommended to check ahead whether guided tours or visits are available on your intended day.

The estate sits at a historic crossroads where medieval trade routes once passed through the region. This location made it an important point for exchanging goods and information between different areas.
