Hakoinen Manor (Haga gård) is one of the oldest and most well-known manor houses in Finland. Its history is related to the adjacent hill fort and the estate may have existed already in the pre-historic era (and at least in the Iron Ages). After the Häme castle was built in the 14th century, Hakoinen was changed as a residence of bailiffs. Hakoinen is mentioned in a letter written by King Erik XIII of Pomerania in 1411. The owners of estate are known since 1540.
The construction of current large main building began in 1796 or 1797, but it was not completed before the end of Finnish War 1808-1809. The original appearance is well-preserved. Other buildings date mainly from the 18th and 19th centuries.
There is an unique furniture collection in Hakoinen manor in a so-called 'King's room'. It was originally located to the Stockholm Royal Palace during the reign of Gustav III and owned by Adolf Fredrik Munck.
Today the manor is still privately owned by Rosenberg family and not open to the public.
References:The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.
Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
