House of the Estates, Administrative building in Kruununhaka, Finland.
The House of the Estates stands across from the Bank of Finland, featuring Renaissance Revival architecture with a prominent bronze sculpture on its pediment.
Completed in 1890, the building served as a meeting place for three non-noble estates of Finland until the introduction of unicameral parliament in 1906.
The structure contains elaborately decorated interiors designed by Gustaf Nyström, representing the political and architectural values of late 19th century Finland.
The building now functions as a governmental meeting and representation space, managed by the Prime Minister's Office since 1978.
The pediment displays Emil Wikström's bronze sculpture depicting Emperor Alexander I confirming Finnish laws and rights at the Diet of Porvoo in 1809.
