Meilahti Manor, Manor estate in Meilahti district, Helsinki, Finland.
Meilahti Manor is an estate with a main residence and a separate dance pavilion arranged across landscaped grounds near the waterfront in western Helsinki. The buildings sit within a park-like setting where green spaces connect the different structures.
The manor was constructed in the early 1800s and became the first structure in the area that would later develop into Helsinki's villa district. Its construction marked the start of residential growth in this waterfront zone.
The manor shows how affluent families lived in the region through its rooms and the way visitors move through the displays. You can see what daily life looked like for people who occupied such estates and what objects mattered to them.
The site is located at Tamminiementie 8 and can be reached on foot from the surrounding area. The property is protected as a heritage site, so some areas may have restricted access or limited hours.
The dance pavilion was a separate building designed for social gatherings, showing how leisure and entertainment were organized for affluent residents. This separates it from many other historical houses designed purely as residences.
