Event Introduction

The House of the Estates was originally designed by the architect Karl Gustaf Nyström as a meeting place for the commoner estates of the Diet of Finland. It was inaugurated in 1891. Over the decades the building has also housed Committees of the Parliament of Finland as well as scientific and scholarly organisations. Today, the House of the Estates acts as a banqueting hall for the Finnish Government and hosts hundreds of events every year.

This year’s Helsinki Day marks the first occasion for the general public to explore the House of the Estates since the building was renovated between 2023 and 2025.
