Archbishop's house, Episcopal residence in Turku, Finland.

The Archbishop's House stands on the intersection of Agricolankatu and Piispankatu streets, representing the architectural design principles of the late 19th century.

Architect Jac Ahrenberg designed this third episcopal residence in 1890, following Bishop Karl Fredrik Mellander's initial site acquisition in 1763.

The building functions as the official residence for the Archbishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland and maintains its religious significance.

The interior spaces underwent modification in the 1930s to incorporate functionalist design elements while preserving the exterior characteristics.

The property includes mews constructed in 1888, predating the main house completion by two years.
