History of Lahti Manor

The Lahti Historical Museum is located in the former Lahti Manor. The rose-coloured house was built in 1898 as a home of an important family in a small town, the Fellmans. After the family, the building has been used by a day-care centre and a school. Since 1968, the building has housed a museum showcasing the cultural history of Lahti and the Päijät-Häme region.
