About this site
The main building of Kuusisto manor, situated in the cultural landscape surrounding Kuusisto bishop's castle, is among the oldest preserved wooden residential buildings in Finland. It was completed in 1738 as the official residence for the colonel of Turku Infantry Regiment, based on standard drawings that guided army construction. Most of the outbuildings that stood to the north of the manor and formed a compact group of buildings have disappeared. The manor is surrounded by a park that originated in the 1780s. The manor's kitchen garden has been at the western gable end of the main building since the 17th century. The oldest parts of the park date from the 1780s. Significant planting works were carried out in the park during the 1890s. The restoration of the park began in 1991.
