Bjorkudden

Bjorkudden is a mid nineteenth century manor house, or herrgard, in Ostersundom, Helsinki, Finland, designed by the architect Wilhelm Linsen. It was the home of the Finnish writer and historian Zacharias Topelius, whose library there hosted cultural figures including the poet Carl Snoilsky, the writer Karl August Tavaststjerna, and the social activist Alexandra Gripenberg. After Topelius death the estate returned to its previous owners, and it remains in the ownership of the Lilius family.
