An Empire-style building on Eteläesplanadi, erected in 1820–1822 to designs by C. L. Engel as the official residence of the commander of the Finnish military; the design was approved by Alexander I in 1820 and the finishing work was completed in 1824. Finland was then part of the Russian Empire as a Grand Duchy.

Since the 1960s it has served as the Government Banquet Hall.
