Fagervik Manor, Protected manor estate in Fagervik, Finland.
Fagervik Manor is an estate with stone walls, gardens, and several historical buildings spread across its grounds near Ingå. The main house and outbuildings show the layout of a traditional Finnish manor property.
The property started as an ironworks in 1646 under Carl Billsten before becoming a manor during the 1700s under the Hising family. Most of the buildings you see today were built during this later period of Hising management.
The chapel on the grounds holds one of Finland's oldest still-working organs, showing how much music and religious practice mattered to those living here. Visitors can still see the craftsmanship that went into building this historic instrument today.
The property sits roughly one hour from Helsinki and can be reached by public transport, with the nearest bus stop at Fagervik E. Plan to visit during summer months when the estate operates as a museum.
German iron workers here brought potato farming to Finland, making this location the birthplace of potato growing in the country. This link between metalwork and agriculture makes the site historically notable.
