Since 1904 the house of Nylands Nation, a building designed by Karl Hård af Segerstad, has stood at Kasarmikatu 40.

The Royal Academy in Turku, pioneered the concept of dividing students based on their province, a tradition inspired by universities in Paris and Italy from the 12th century.

Over time, the nation became more established and began organizing diverse programs for its members, ranging from cultural evenings to large-scale events.

The institution's physical presence was realized with the construction of its national house in 1901, designed by architect Karl Hård af Segerstad.

The nation boasts an impressive art collection comprising paintings, sculptures, textiles, stained glass, and drawings.
