Katajisto Manor, Manor house in Aulanko district, Hämeenlinna, Finland.
Katajisto Manor is a manor house located near Lake Vanajavesi within the Aulanko Nature Reserve. The main building accommodates groups up to 100 people, while a separate smaller building serves gatherings of 5 to 10 participants.
The manor was built in the 1830s and has shaped the landscape of the region since then. A full renovation in 2017 updated the facilities while keeping its original structure intact.
The place reflects a long tradition of weaving buildings into the natural landscape that has shaped the Hämeenlinna region for generations. Its design shows how local people have historically integrated structures with the surrounding environment.
The spaces work well for gatherings and business meetings, with a specialized building positioned right by the lake. The location within a nature reserve means visitors should allow time to explore the surrounding area on foot.
A meeting and work space sits in a hut positioned directly by the lakeshore, seamlessly blending with the surrounding forest. This setup allows visitors to work in a nature-dominated setting while using modern facilities.
