Nynäs gård, Manor house in Masku, Finland.
Nynäs gård is a manor house in Masku with a plaster-covered timber frame, two floors, and a column-supported balcony above the main entrance. The property includes several outbuildings and remains in active use for agricultural operations and equestrian facilities.
The estate originated in medieval times and received its current form through extensive renovations directed by architect Ivar Tengbom. These works allowed the architectural features of the house to be preserved for future generations.
The chapel on the property once served the community as a worship space and was later repurposed to house historical records and documents. Today visitors can observe how such buildings changed their function and reflect different phases of rural life.
The property is located in a rural setting and is best reached by car since it sits outside the center of Masku. The active operations mean visitors can experience the rhythm of farm life during their visit.
A small cemetery north of the main driveway holds graves of workers and property owners who lived on the estate across generations. This modest burial ground tells the story of the different people who inhabited this place throughout its long existence.
