Pyhäniemi Manor, One Of Finland’s Most Significant Cultural Heritage Estates With Nearly 18 Hectares

A Rare Piece of Royal & Cultural Heritage

Pyhäniemi Manor in Hollola is recognized as one of the most valuable and culturally significant manor environments in Finland. With roots reaching back to medieval records of 1467, the estate’s prominent era began in 1780, when King Gustav III of Sweden commissioned the first floor of the current manor residence as a royal reward for Major General Carl Johan Schmiedefelt. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, under leading architects A. W. Stenfors and A. Nordberg, the manor was expanded with a second floor and distinctive observation tower.

Across centuries, the estate has welcomed nobility, served as a pioneering agrarian model farm, survived the First World War under the protection of the Dutch flag, and became celebrated as ”Hollola’s Hollywood”—a cinematic set for iconic Finnish films of the 1930s and 1940s.

The approximately 858 m² manor offers five bedrooms, eight reception rooms, a library, two balconies, a veranda and 12 tiled stoves. The grounds also include the outbuilding called Kavaljeeri, a timbered loft granary, an ice cellar and a historic cannonball factory building.

The estate covers approximately 17.908 hectares. According to the listing, the properties include approximately 10,400 m² of remaining building rights for residential and accommodation use. The scale and setting offer potential for private use or a hospitality and events concept, subject to applicable planning and heritage requirements.

The manor is located just a 20-minute drive from Lahti and 1 hour 15 minutes from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
