Louhisaari Manor

Louhisaari Manor is a three-story manor house museum in Masku, Finland, known for its baroque architecture and varied room designs from the 17th century. The interiors include both ceremonial halls and functional service areas that show different aspects of noble life.

Herman Fleming built the manor in 1655, and it remained in his family's hands for three centuries. In 1791, the Mannerheim family purchased the estate, which they later opened to the public.

The name Louhisaari means "rock island" and refers to the landscape around the estate. Visitors can explore the different living levels and see how the lifestyle of Finnish nobility changed across the centuries.

The museum opens daily during the summer and offers regular guided tours in Finnish. The rooms are spread across three floors, so visitors should be comfortable with stairs.

Marshal C.G.E. Mannerheim, who later became Finland's sixth president, was born in this manor in 1867. Today, visitors can see his birth room and learn more about his early years on the estate.
