Mommila Manor

Mommila Manor is a traditional Finnish estate located in northeastern Hausjärvi, displaying typical features of Finnish manor architecture. The property includes several buildings arranged around the main house, such as a former prayer house and various outbuildings that supported life on the estate.

The manor developed as a private estate and became known particularly as the final home of Alfred Kordelin until his death in 1917. This period marked significant events that remained embedded in local memory as the Mommila incidents.

The manor contains a prayer house that evolved into a community church, showing how estate owners shaped local spiritual life. This building became a gathering place where both the estate and the village community worshipped together.

The property can be reached via Hämeenlinna's road network, with the Mommila railway station nearby for convenient access. Visitors should wear suitable footwear for walking around the grounds and allow time to explore both the buildings and the surrounding landscape.

The estate grounds border Lake Mommilanjärvi, where an annual rowing competition takes place each July with participants from surrounding regions. This sporting event connects modern recreation on the lake with the manor's long history.
