Kulosaari Manor ( Finnish: Kulosaaren kartano, Swedish: Brändö gård) is a manor house and mansion located near [note 1] the Kulosaari neighbourhood of Helsinki.
The manor was designed in the neoclassical style by architect Pehr Granstedt in 1815. [1] Its first owners were the noble fi:Jägerhorn af Storby family.
The current main building may be partly based on an earlier 18th-century house commissioned by Count Augustin Ehrensvärd. The history of the actual manor (rather than the manor house itself) dates even further back to the 16th-century, its earliest known owner having been Erik Filpusson, from 1540 to 1587.
The manor has been owned by the City of Helsinki since 1927. [1] It is currently (until 2020) leased to JHL, the Trade Union for Public and Welfare Sectors, and mainly used for their and their members' events and recreational purposes. [2]
The manor was featured in Taskmaster Finland.
