Suitia Manor (Finnish: Suitian linna, Swedish: Svidja slott) is a historical manor house in Siuntio on the southern coast of Finland. The history of the manor dates back to the medieval era. The oldest parts of the current main building are from 1540s although the facade that we see today is from the early 1900s. In the beginning of 2020 the estate consisted of 726 hectares of land with over 60 buildings. The main building of Suitia Manor is rather large with size of approximately 1 300 square meters. Suitia Manor is located in north of Siuntio Church Village only about 1 kilometer from the medieval St. Peter's Church and river Kirkkojoki. Regional road 116 between Siuntio Church Village and neighbouring city of Lohja runs east of Suitia Manor. Suitia Manor together with St. Peter's Church builds a Built cultural heritage site of national significance and therefore the area is protected by law. Protection of the area is monitored by the Finnish Heritage Agency. Suitia Manor has also been a set for many Finnish movies.

Siuntio Local History Museum
Siuntio Local History Museum

Siuntio Local History Museum (Finnish: Siuntion kotiseutumuseo, Swedish: Sjundeå hembygdsmuseum) is a museum that exhibits the local history and culture of Siuntio in Finland. The museum has been run by a local Swedish-speaking organisation called Hembygdens Vänner I Sjundeå (translates to The Friends of Homeland in Siuntio) since 1965. Siuntio Local History Museum is usually open during summer and during other times by request. Siuntio Local History Museum is located in Siuntio Church Village. The main exhibition is inside an old school building, Fredriksberg school. Apart from the school building, there are also several other old buildings in the museum area, such as two granaries, a shed, a smaller cottage, and a caretaker's residence. The main exhibitions in the Fredriksberg school building showcase items to visitors, ranging from prehistory to modern times in independent Finland. Points of interest include items from the Soviet rental era of Porkkala Naval Base, parts of an 18th-century organ from St. Peter's Church in Siuntio, and dolls from Mona Leo's puppetry. Originally, the museum was located in Fanjunkars croft, which was destroyed after the Second World War during the Soviet rental era of Porkkala Naval Base. During that time, the museum was relocated to Siuntio Church Village. The hill of Krejansberget is situated adjacent to Siuntio Local History Museum, known for Bronze Age burial mounds on top of it. A nature trail leads from the museum area to the top of Krejansberget, offering a panoramic view of the river valley of Siuntio Church Village, Siuntio Church, and Suitia Manor.
