Nylands Nation, Student nation building in Helsinki, Finland.
The Art Nouveau structure at Kasarmikatu 40 features a Viking hall decorated with paintings, sculptures, and textiles representing Norse mythology.
Established in 1643 at The Royal Academy of Turku, Nylands Nation relocated to Helsinki in 1828 alongside the university's transfer to the new capital.
The nation functions as a community center for Swedish-speaking students from the Uusimaa region, organizing regular cultural events and formal dinners.
The building provides study spaces, affordable housing options, and networking opportunities for its 800 members from the University of Helsinki and Aalto University.
The nation maintains an extensive archive at the National Library in Helsinki, documenting 170 years of student life and organizational development.
