Joenniemen kartano (the Manor) designed by architect Jarl Eklund, was completed in 1935 as the representative home of Gösta and Ruth Serlachius on the shores of Lake Melasjärvi. The building represents Classicism and is influenced by English manor architecture. The interior features clean-lined functionalism from the 1930s.
Sculptor Hannes Autere designed the wooden furniture of the wine house and carved the wooden reliefs that decorate the space, as I wrote in my previous post. Hannes Autere also made the wooden carvings that adorn the main door and window frames of the manor.

Wow! So beautiful and great details in excellent photos. Really amazing doors. Thank you Ritva.

Fabulous door carvings!
Now that’s a WOW door!
That’s a fantastic door, the carvings are beautiful! I know I would spend some time studying and photographing the details 😀
The door details are fun.
These are all great photos. I love the carvings on the first door, and I really like the photo of the moose sculpture.
Coming up to the manor house would seem casual until I arrived at the door. I would be there for a while looking at the carvings, It certainly has the Georgian Manor House look
I think that the stunning door rather eclipses the rest of the building. Great carvings.
Wow! Fabulous doors.
