Nylands nation is Finland's oldest student nation, established in 1643 at The Royal Academy of Turku. In 1828 the university moved to Helsinki and the student nations along with it. Since 1904, the house of Nylands Nation has stood at Kaserngatan 40, a building designed by Karl Hård af Segerstad in the national romantic style.
