General presentation
Raseborg and Fiskars
Village of designers, medieval ruins and bilingual coast mark the west of Helsinki.
Village of Fiskars, Raseborg Castle and Old Town of Ekenäs give the most telling landmarks of Raseborg and Fiskars. Together, they form a destination where the countryside, the coast, the heritage and the forests meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Village
Village of Fiskars
The forge, founded in 1649, became a village of artisans, designers and exhibitions; the industrial brick buildings stretched along a shady river.
Castle
Raseborg Castle
Raseborg is a ruined medieval fortress once built on an island to control the trade in the Gulf of Finland; the drying of land left it in the middle of the fields.
Place indismissible
Old town of Ekenäs
The old district of Ekenäs line up wooden houses and alleys bearing names of artisans to the port; Swedish remains very present in everyday life.
