Wahlberg`s House -museum

Ylinenkatu 11, 23500 Uusikaupunki

museon sali

Wahlberg’s House was built by Fredrik Wahlberg, the founder of the Uusikaupunki tobacco factory. The crystal chandelier he brought from Italy still hangs from the living room ceiling. The decorative tiled stoves and elaborate ceiling paintings in the different rooms originate from the beginning of the 20th century. Some of the ovens and ceiling paintings, as well as the hand-painted wallpaper in the salon, go as far back as 150 years ago.

On the top floor of the museum, you can learn about local maritime history presented in an atmospheric way. 

In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum also regularly houses temporary exhibitions.
