At the end of the 19th century, the legend of the Finnish forest industry, G. A. Serlachius, lifted the villages of Mänttä and Filppula on to the world map with his paper products. Since then, for over hundred years, we have received visitors from all over the world on the estates of Serlachius. Our services have delighted both kings and honorary councils, as they still do.
