Björkudden, 19th-century villa in Östersundom, Finland.

The Björkudden villa stands on the grounds of Östersundom Manor, featuring architectural elements characteristic of Finnish residential design from the 1850s.

Architect Wilhelm Linsén designed this villa, which later became the residence of Finnish writer Zacharias Topelius from 1878 until 1898.

The villa contains a library established in 1879 and received numerous literary figures, including poet Carl Snoilsky and writer Karl August Tavaststjerna.

The villa maintains its original structure at coordinates 60°15'20"N 25°12'30"E and connects to Helsinki's public transportation network.

The property, also known as Koivuniemi in Finnish, remains under the ownership of the Lilius family who acquired it after Topelius's period.
