Leppävaaran kartano

Leppävaaran kartano is a manor house in Espoo built after World War II using construction methods typical of Finland at that time. The building stands in a residential area surrounded by modern streets and neighboring structures.

The manor house was built in 1947 when Finland was rebuilding after the war and needed new housing for its people. This building phase was driven by hopes for fresh starts and the reshaping of the country.

The house shows how people lived in Finland during the years after the war and what role such a building played in a growing city. It reflects the everyday needs and living ideas of that time.

The house sits in an easily reached neighborhood and is accessible by public transportation, including trains and buses. Visitors can explore the area during daytime hours and observe how the neighborhood is organized.

The house marks a special moment in Finland's history when rebuilding began with new building techniques. It is one of the few houses from this time that still shows the style and ideas of those years.
