Vuojoki manor

Vuojoki manor is a white wooden building designed in the Empire style by architect Carl Engel in 1836 and located on a rural estate. The main house has a symmetrical layout with two annexes and a greenhouse for exotic plants attached to one side.

The estate was founded in the 16th century and underwent major transformation under Captain Lars Magnus Bjorkman during the 1830s. During this period it grew into one of the largest manorial holdings in Finland.

The manor reflects how the Finnish nobility chose to build and arrange their country estates during the Empire period. Walking through the rooms, you see how this particular style of living expressed their social position and taste.

The estate is open year-round for visitors with a permanent historical exhibition and guided tours available. On-site facilities include spaces for conferences and a restaurant.

The greenhouse complex followed an innovative design that allowed exotic plants to grow in Finland's cooler climate. This was a remarkably advanced feature for the location and period.
