Built in 1903, Hvitträsk is the former studio home of three of Finland most celebrated architects – Herman Gesellius, Armas Lindgren and Eliel Saarinen. Located in the forests of Kirkkonummi by a peaceful lake, the property is a masterpiece of Finnish National Romantic architecture, where nature, art and living space blend seamlessly into one. Today it operates as a museum and is one of the most beautiful buildings in Finland.
Escape the bustle of Helsinki and discover a more peaceful side of Finland on a relaxing day trip to Hvitträsk, a beautiful lakeside retreat surrounded by forests and nature. Located in Kirkkonummi, Hvitträsk was created by renowned Finnish architects Eliel Saarinen, Herman Gesellius and Armas Lindgren as their home and studio, and today it offers a fascinating glimpse into Finland’s architectural and artistic heritage. Take your time exploring the historic Hvitträsk estate, where traditional Finnish materials such as natural stone and wood blend beautifully with the surrounding landscape. Admire the distinctive National Romantic architecture, discover the former living and working spaces, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere by Lake Vitträsk. This experience is designed around the “slow Finnish way” of travelling — taking a step back, enjoying the scenery and appreciating the simple pleasures of Finnish life. During the visit, you will also have time to relax over a coffee break, making the day a pleasant combination of culture, nature and local atmosphere.
