Kyminkartano manor, 18th-century manor house in Kotka, Finland
Kyminkartano is a manor house built in the late 18th century with traditional Finnish architecture and design elements. The main building displays typical features of the period with carefully arranged rooms and details suited to a wealthy landowner's residence.
The estate was founded in 1790 and then passed to several noble families including the Wrangels and other dynasties over time. These changes show how landed properties in Finland were transferred between different families of rank during this era.
The manor reflects how Finnish noble families of the 18th century lived and managed their estates with farmland and working operations around them. The layout shows how families of rank organized their homes as centers of their authority and wealth.
The manor sits at Kyminkartanontie 5 in Kotka and remains a private home today. Visitors can view the building from outside but should not expect entry to the interior or grounds.
The property has a deeper history than the current building suggests, with the land having royal connections dating back to the 16th century. This older heritage reveals that the location was important in the region long before the present manor house was built.
