Completed in the 1898, Lahti Manor represents the historicist architecture of the late 19th century, which admired past eras and national heritage. It was built as a home for August Fellman, a member of Parliament who had a significant influence in the development of industry and culture in Lahti.
The manor’s architectural style emphasised the roots of Finnish culture and society. In 1965, the building became part of Lahti City Museum, which continues to operate there today.
The vote was organised as part of Lahti’s celebrations in 2025 of its 120th anniversary, which culminate with a series of events in late October.
