Köyliönkartano, Manor estate in Säkylä, Finland.
Köyliönkartano is a manor estate with spacious grounds and gardens set on a substantial property. The main building displays neoclassical features with symmetrical design and balanced proportions.
The estate was built in its present form around 1815 under architect Pehr Granstedt's design and incorporated elements from an earlier structure. It passed to Helsinki ownership in 1927 after centuries of belonging to various noble families.
The estate is part of a traditional rural landscape that shows how influential families shaped the development of the countryside. The setting reflects the role these properties played in their local communities.
The property is accessible for various events and gatherings and is managed by a trade union organization. Visitors should check in advance which areas are open and what activities might be happening on their intended visit day.
The current building deliberately incorporates older building elements that trace back to Count Augustin Ehrensvärd's time. This blending of earlier and newer elements under Granstedt's design shows how different architectural phases were layered together.
