Raseborg

Raseborg is a municipality in the Uusimaa region along Finland's southern coast, created from the merger of several towns. The area includes Ekenäs as its administrative center and encompasses both inland and coastal terrain.

Raseborg was created in 2009 through the merger of three municipalities into a single administrative unit. This reorganization unified the region's former structures under one municipal organization.

The municipality maintains a strong Swedish-speaking heritage visible throughout the towns and local institutions. This bilingual character shapes daily life and cultural offerings across the region.

Ekenäs is well connected to Helsinki by public transportation and provides access to municipal services and facilities. The municipality is relatively flat and easy to navigate, particularly in the coastal areas.

The municipal coat of arms features anemones arranged in a circle, each representing one of the eight former municipalities that were combined. This symbol connects the region's separate communities into one shared identity.
