About Esbensengården
Esbensengården in Ytrebyen, Vadsø, showcases the merchant and trading house life of 19th-century Vadsø and the urban upper class lifestyle. The main building was constructed as a Varangerhouse with outbuildings, barn, and stables. Together with Tuomainengården, the estate comprises Vadsø Museum – Ruija Kven Museum, and tells the story of Finnish-Kven immigration and the Pomor trade that shaped the city.
