Tervik Manor, Cultural heritage manor in Loviisa, Finland
Tervik Manor is a house built in Empire style in Loviisa, featuring extensive gardens and a grand oak tree alley leading to the entrance. The estate spreads across a large property with mature trees and classical architectural elements from different construction periods.
The estate was founded in 1636, with the current main structure built in 1736 and undergoing major renovations during the 1810s under Marshal de Geer's direction. This period shaped the house's character through classical redesigns that remain visible today.
The manor houses one of Finland's largest private portrait collections, documenting centuries of Finnish noble society through artworks. This collection offers a direct window into the identity and social structure of the wealthy families who shaped this region.
The manor remains under private ownership with restricted access, so visitors must arrange group tours in advance. Plan your visit ahead of time and check available dates for a complete experience at the site.
The oak tree alley leading to the entrance is the longest of its kind in Finland, creating a botanically remarkable approach. Walking beneath the canopy, you see the height and age of these trees, which form a natural archway.
