During this guided tour we will hear about the military leader and statesman Gustav Mannerheim and his presence in Hanko.
In July 1919 Gustaf Mannerheim lost the first Finnish president election to K.J. Ståhlberg. He spent a civilian life almost the whole of the 1920’s. He got himself the ownership of the island Suuri Mäntysaari (Big pine island), where he had his summer house, Villa Stormhälla.
He also owned the café on the neighbouring island, formerly known as “Café Africa”, which he renamed “The House of the Four Winds” which is open in the summer.
