The Mustio Manor Arboretum is a historic botanical garden home to an impressive collection of trees and plants from many parts of the world.
The park and the arboretum are open to the public all year round for free walks. However, if you wish to visit the interior of the manor house (museum), check the specific guided tour schedules on its official website, as they vary by season.
Access to stroll through the impressive English garden and park is completely free. You only need to pay an admission fee if you decide to join a guided tour inside the historic manor house; you can see updated prices on its website.
To fully enjoy the garden's exotic species, statues, and lake views at a relaxed pace, we recommend setting aside 1 to 2 hours. If you also add the guided tour inside the manor house, plan for a total visit of about 3 hours.
This site is home to one of Finland’s most important wooden manor houses, with a history linked to the old 18th-century ironworks and the Linder family. The park, transformed in the English style in the 19th century, is a living monument to Finnish landscape history.
Summer, from June to August, is ideal for seeing the rhododendrons and the garden in full bloom, as well as enjoying all services while they are open. However, autumn offers spectacular scenery with the changing leaf colors, known locally as 'Ruska'.
The park’s main paths are gravel and mostly flat, which allows for a certain degree of accessibility, although there may be some uneven sections. Please note that access to the interior of the historic manor house is limited due to stairs and the old structure.
Make the most of your trip by visiting the picturesque artisan village of Fiskars, located about 20 minutes away by car. You can also explore St. Lawrence Church in central Lohja or enjoy water activities on Lake Lohjanjärvi.
Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the dirt paths, and consider booking a table at the acclaimed Slottskrogen restaurant on the estate. And of course, bring an audio guide with you to discover the hidden stories behind each tree and historic building.
