Villa in House museum Villa Rulludd, villa in Espoo, Finland
Villa Rulludd is a villa in Espoo that brings together four different architectural styles, showing how homes evolved over time. The building was expanded and renovated across generations, making different construction periods visible throughout its structure.
The villa dates back to the 1870s and has been part of local life for over 150 years. Its development reflects the architectural tastes and lifestyles of Finnish upper-class families as they changed across generations.
The villa served as a summer home for the Kihlman family and remains tied to how people in the region understand leisure and holiday culture. Rooms inside show how Finnish families spent their free time and reveal the social role these homes held in daily life.
The villa is open on Sundays from early morning to mid-afternoon for a relaxed visit. Starting February 1st, it also opens during winter months, and visitors can choose between guided tours or self-guided exploration using digital tools.
Inside the villa, furniture and details from different eras show how people actually lived in the past. A cafe beside the house offers a place to relax after visiting, blending the historical experience with everyday comfort.
