About

Villa Rulludd in Espoo is a beautifully preserved seaside villa that offers an intimate glimpse into Finland’s early villa culture and the summer life of the Kihlman family, who spent more than a century here. Built in the 1870s and later expanded with a lighter summer villa connected by a grand porch, the estate reflects the charm of 19th‑ and early 20th‑century leisure architecture on the Uusimaa coast. Inside, rooms furnished with original objects evoke scenes of everyday life, from children’s play to household routines, capturing the atmosphere of bourgeois summers. The surrounding peninsula, with its shoreline paths and lush garden, enhances the experience and remains a popular recreational area. Although the museum is open to the public only once a month, visitors can explore its history year‑round through digital guides and virtual tours, making Villa Rulludd a serene and evocative window into Espoo’s cultural heritage.
