Buildings

The architecture of Fiskars differs from that of other villages in Finland. Built on the banks of two sets of rapids along the Fiskars River, most of its buildings date from the early nineteenth century, and were designed by some of the most notable Finnish architects of the time, including C.L. Engel, J.E. Wiik, A.F. Granstedt, W. Aspelin, Charles Bassi, and A. Peel. The center of the village has an urban aspect, with fine old manor houses and production plants, some of which are almost two centuries old.
