Suur-Sarvilahti Manor, Baroque manor house in Loviisa, Finland.
Suur-Sarvilahti Manor is a three-story stone manor house in Loviisa with extensive grounds surrounding the main building. The structure displays Finnish Baroque architecture from the late 17th century with features typical of nobility houses from that era.
The manor was built between 1672 and 1683 by the Creutz family during a period of prosperity for Finnish nobility. The structure later underwent repairs from damage sustained during regional conflicts in the 18th century.
The manor reflects the architectural tastes of Finnish nobility, with design elements shaped by the Swedish Empire period that influenced local building practices. The structure shows how aristocratic families adapted Baroque styles to northern conditions.
The manor remains private property today and can be viewed from a distance. It is located along the Old Vyborg Road, which serves as a cycling route connecting Porvoo to the Strömfors Ironworks area.
Olof Palme, a former Swedish Prime Minister, had a grandmother who lived in this manor house. The von Born family later donated the estate to Svenska kulturfonden, a foundation supporting Nordic cultural heritage.
