Hatanpää Manor

It was founded in the 1690s, but the current main building of Hatanpää Manor, designed by architect Sebastian Gripenberg, was completed in 1885.

[2] During his trip to Finland in 1775, King Gustav III of Sweden was a guest of Boije at the manor and at that time issued an order to establish the city of Tampere on the shores of nearby Tammerkoski.

Shortly afterwards, Boije also sold the Hatanpää manor to tax collector Gabriel Ahlman in 1778[1] when he moved to Helsinki to become the Governor of Nyland and Tavastehus County.

[1] The manor house currently serves as a party, meeting and other event venue,[1][5] and Juvenes-Yhtiöt Oy is responsible for the service.

[1] In the park of the manor there is a large natural stone with the Greek text “Egno Kyrios tous Ontas autou” (English: “The Lord Knows His Own”).

The engraving is thought to date from the 18th century in the time of Boije and was possibly made during the visit of King Gustav III in 1775.
