Villa Kleineh

Villa Kleineh is a classical residential building in Kaivopuisto with white facades and symmetrical architectural details, built in 1840 and protected as a historic monument. The structure features two stories, a glazed veranda, and finely crafted window frames that showcase Empire-style craftsmanship.

The house was built in 1840 by the Bath and Wellhouse Corporation and initially served as lodging for visitors to the Ullanlinna bathhouses. After this early period, its use changed and it was later converted into a private residence.

The residence reflects architectural tastes of 19th-century Helsinki and displays classical features you can observe while walking through the park. The white walls and balanced proportions match the preferences of wealthy residents from that era.

The house is located within a quiet park and can be viewed from the public paths surrounding the grounds without entering private property. Kaivopuisto Park is easily reached via several access streets and offers multiple routes for exploring.

The building takes its name from Louis Kleineh, a wealthy resident who owned and shaped it during the 19th century. Local stories speak of unexplained occurrences and a presence that roams through the park and grounds.
