Along the way, enjoy a scenic stop at Svartå Manor, situated in the quaint village of Mustio. The drive from Nuuksio to Svartå Manor takes about 1 hour, providing a soothing transition from forest paths to historic elegance.
Svartå Manor is one of Finland’s most cherished wooden manor houses, constructed between 1783 and 1792. It features a blend of Rococo and Neoclassical architecture, with interiors dominated by the Gustavian style. The manor has hosted royalty, including King Gustav III of Sweden and Russian emperors Alexander I and II, and today it serves as a museum and boutique hotel.
Surrounding the manor is a beautifully landscaped English-style park, featuring romantic bridges, statues, winding paths, and even a unique water lily walkway. It’s the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and some picturesque photography.

Built in the 1370s, Raseborg Castle once served as the administrative and military center of Western Uusimaa. Surrounded by tranquil forests and a peaceful stream, the dramatic stone ruins provide a perfect backdrop for photography and quiet reflection. You can wander around the castle grounds, admire the views from the old ramparts, and capture memorable photos of the ancient architecture and natural surroundings.
