Jokioisten Pappilamuseo

About the museum

Ernst Gustaf von Willebrand, owner of Jokioinen manor, had the curate's parsonage built in 1800. The two-storey, brick-clad house is made of massive clay and was sealed with straw and moss. The building served as a parsonage, the home of the church clerk (lukkari) and as housing for the manor's workers.

The house was restored to its parsonage-era appearance and opened as a museum in 1959. The ground floor aims to bring to life the everyday life of a rural parsonage in the mid-19th century. The collections include ecclesiastical and secular objects, as well as memorabilia of the writer Miina Sillanpää; on the western slope of the museum hill there is a memorial stone marking Sillanpää's birthplace. The yard has two granaries, a smoke sauna and a cowshed. The museum is run by the Jokiläänin Kotiseutuyhdistys ry (Jokiläänin Local Heritage Association).
