The House of the Estates, Snellmaninkatu 9-11, Helsinki
Taken into use in January 1891, the House of the Estates was built for the three common estates as a venue for meetings during the Assembly of the Representatives of the Estates. The design of Greek temple facades, complete with columns, adorns the facade of the House. This dignified Neo-Renaissance building serves as a venue for meetings and official functions held by the Prime Minister’s Office and other offices of the central government and as well by Learned Societies.
