Kaukajärven kartano, Manor house in Kaukajärvi district, Tampere, Finland
Kaukajärven kartano is a manor house situated near Lake Kaukajärvi comprising two historic buildings including the main residence and a stable structure set within park grounds. The complex now serves as a cultural venue where exhibitions and events take place within the original buildings.
The manor was designed in the early 20th century by Finnish architect Wivi Lönn, one of Finland's pioneering professional female architects. Her design established the property's architectural foundation from its inception.
The property operates as an art center today, hosting rotating exhibitions, puppet theater, and musical performances throughout the year. Visitors experience the historic spaces as active venues where contemporary art and traditional performances coexist within the manor grounds.
The property is open Tuesday through Sunday between 12 PM and 6 PM, offering free entry during exhibition periods from May to August. Allow time to explore both historic structures and the surrounding grounds.
The grounds contain several functional spaces including a coffee house, bakery, mill, and art shop all woven into the historic complex. These facilities echo the site's former operations while providing visitor amenities today.
