Timeline
07:52
Arrive at Brinkhall Manor. The park and gardens open at 10:00, so you will be walking through the quiet grounds in the pre-dawn light. The neoclassical main building built in 1793 will be visible against the darkening sky.
09:22
Watch the sunrise at 09:22. The sun rises toward the east, casting long shadows across the 34 hectares of park and forest. The golden light begins around 14:20, transforming the landscape.
11:22
Stay inside the manor buildings or park area after the golden hour. Since there are no food or drink shops listed in the immediate vicinity for a post-sunrise breakfast, check the route for nearby options in Kakskerta once the sun is up and the cold recedes.
Local tip
January in Turku is cold. Dress warmly and bring a flashlight for the walk to the manor before 09:22.
