Warum der Umweg sich lohnt
Nicolay noted extensive greenhouses even before purchasing Monrepos in 1788, and later gardeners coaxed peaches, apricots, mirabelle plums and espaliered fruit from the northern climate. Repeatedly rebuilt and drastically altered in the 1920s, the complex was reconstructed during the recent restoration and again serves the working life of the estate.
The Monrepos Greenhouse Complex in Vyborg is a hidden gem featuring reconstructed greenhouses that historically produced peaches and other fruits. It showcases the estate's working life and horticultural achievements.

Monrepos Manor House
Ludwig Heinrich von Nicolay wrote his 1804 poetic guide to the estate in his study here, turning the house and surrounding park into a single literary composition. After wartime upheaval it served as a military rest home and kindergarten, suffered a serious fire in 1989, and was restored in 2017–2022; its permanent museum exhibition opened on January 22, 2025.

Monrepos Library Wing
This modest wing eventually housed the Nicolays' collection of more than 9,000 volumes, one of the largest private libraries in the Grand Duchy of Finland. Its nucleus was the romantically named "Library of Two Friends," begun by Ludwig Nicolay and Franz Hermann Lafermière as students; the collection was later given to the University of Helsinki on condition that it remain undivided.

Monrepos Entrance Gates
The Nicolays' neo-Gothic gates disappeared in the 1950s and were reconstructed in 1982, but Soviet-era circumstances meant that the family's coat of arms was omitted. Restoration in 2017–2022 returned both the heraldic emblem and the metal wicket, restoring the entrance's explicitly aristocratic identity.
