Manoir de Niemi, Manor house in Niemenranta district, Tampere, Finland.
Manoir de Niemi is a manor house in Tampere's Niemenranta area, with a main building displaying peasant empire style features from 1861. The estate includes several protected structures such as a castle-style barn, worker sauna, and guesthouse.
The estate was formed in 1840 through the merger of the Vähäniemi and Isoniemi farms, and was purchased in 1887 by A. Ahlström Oy from Matilda Niemi. Architect Birger Federley made alterations to the main building in 1916 that shaped its later appearance.
The name comes from its former owner Matilda Niemi and reflects its location along the Niemenranta waterfront. The site shows how prosperous families of the 1800s lived in the Tampere area and managed their estates with multiple working buildings.
The site sits in a green area near the Niemenranta waterfront and is easily accessible. Visitors should expect that access to some buildings may be limited, as many remain in private ownership or are protected heritage structures.
The estate houses an 18th-century guesthouse that predates the main building, allowing comparison of different periods of Finnish architecture. This contrast reveals how long the land was inhabited and how building styles evolved over time.
