Villa Elfvik, Art Nouveau residence in Laajalahti, Finland
Villa Elfvik stands as a two-story wooden structure featuring characteristic Jugend architectural elements near the shores of Laajalahti Nature Reserve in Espoo.
Architect Mauritz Gripenberg designed this residence in 1904 for Baroness Elvira Standertskjöld, incorporating elements of early 20th-century Finnish architectural style.
The building now functions as an environmental education center, offering exhibitions and programs about local nature and sustainable living practices.
Visitors can access the nature house free of charge and explore multiple wheelchair-accessible trails, including the 700-meter Nature Sanctuary path.
During summer months, grazing cows maintain the shoreline meadows while visitors observe wetland birds from the designated watching tower.
