Haikko Manor

From Tuesday to Thursday I attended project manager training organized by the company. The training was held in famous Haikko Manor, which is 50 kilometers east north of Helsinki.

It was my first time stayed over night else where than at home after Bobo was born. I truly missed her :-)

The first known reference to Haikko Manor dates back to the year 1362, when it was owned by the Dominican priory of Vyborg. It was totally burn down on New Year Day of 1911. After a determined search the original drawings by Professor Armas Lindgern were found in the Museum of Finnish Architecture. The current Manor House was rebuilt since 1913 and completed on 1965. Today Haikko Manor functions as spa, hotel and conference center.

A special treatment Haikko Manor offers is the Super Cold Treatment -110C. Me and few of male workmates gained bravery to under take this treatment. We stayed there for 3 minutes. The world record was held by an Estonian for 18 minutes.
