The Kuokkala Manor in Jyväskylä


Since my cousin is visiting us here with her daughter
we thought to go sight seeing on Saturday. Also my sister
and her family were then from Kuopio so they joined us. :)

We went to see the old Kuokkala Manor ->
KUOKKALAN KARTANO that was built in 1904.
There was lots to see, inside and outside.
We also had a coffee and delicious cakes in
the cozy cafeteria. :)


Here are some photos that I took there.
Here's the Kuokkala Manor.


This wooden house was in the area too.
I think it's not as old as the manor itself,
but it's still very beautiful. :)


And a few shots of the many lovely statues
in the garden.



Here's a shot of the garden.


This old Ford was stunning! :)


We bought this nice old Travel Guide of Jyväskylä
from the manor with the black & white card with
aerial picture of the Kuokkala Manor, taken in the late 1920s. :)
