Grabbacka

The stone ruins of Grabbacka feature preserved vaulted basement sections situated on a cliff at the eastern edge of Gösbackaviken agricultural landscape.

Following royal permission in the late 15th century, judge Måns Andersson Grabbe ordered the construction of this stone fortress along the Stora Strandvägen route.

The site integrates medieval defensive structures with the surrounding agricultural landscape, representing continuous settlement patterns from the Iron Age period.

Located 4 kilometers from Karis center, the archaeological site contains remaining stone walls and earthworks that mark the original fortress location.

During prehistoric times, the current agricultural plain formed a navigable bay, enabling direct sailing access from Raseborg to Grabbackaberget.
