Kauniainen (IPA: /ˈkɑu.ni.ɑiˌnen/; Grankulla in Swedish) is a small town of 8,426 inhabitants (as of March 2005) in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, Finland.
Kauniainen was founded as a corporation in 1906 in Espoo, in order to create a suburb for villas; a similar scheme was used by Danderyd in Stockholm, Sweden.
Kauniainen received the status of a municipality in 1920, the Finnish name in 1949, and the title of kaupunki ("city, town") in 1972.
The club organizes various events for the whole family, show-jumping and dressage competitions as well as provides facilities for the club members in their equestrian activities.
Kauniainen Equestrian Center is also home for Peik Andersin's competition show-jumping horses.
Café Jondal, located on the grounds, is a meeting place for riders and their families.
