Kankainen Manor, Medieval manor house in Masku, Finland

The stone manor stretches along a small river one kilometer south of Masku center, featuring architectural elements from multiple centuries of construction and renovation.

The Horn family owned the estate from 1437 to 1695, during which time it received visits from King Gustav I in 1556 and King Gustavus Adolphus in 1616.

The Finnish Heritage Agency recognized Kankainen Manor as one of Finland's nationally significant built cultural environments in 2009, preserving its architectural legacy.

The estate encompasses 350 hectares, with half dedicated to forest lands and half to agricultural fields, including six additional buildings besides the main structure.

A fire in 1819 occurred when Nils Nilsson Fredensköld fell asleep near his books with lit candles, resulting in the destruction of most manor archives.
