About this site
Urajärvi manor is situated in Asikkala on the shore of Urajärvi. The building stock of the small East Häme manor took shape over the period from the late 18th to the early 20th century. In addition to the main building, the manor complex includes a number of residential and outbuildings related to the manor's farm economy and other purposes, and a large English-style park with garden pavilions and park structures. In front of the main building, the manor courtyard opening towards the lake is flanked by a side building and, opposite it, a storehouse row. The main building's forecourt is laid out as a geometric garden. The farm buildings, separate from the manor courtyard, form a coherent building ensemble at the eastern edge of the headland. Urajärvi manor is a nationally significant built cultural environment (RKY site). The operation of keeping the manor open and museum activities have since 2016 been managed by Urajärven Kartanon Ystävät ry.
