The Fleming family acquired the Louhisaari estate around the middle of the 15th century. The Mannerheim family acquired the manor in 1795. Known residents were Carl Gustaf Mannerheim. A Finnish entomologist, and his grandson Marshal Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, who was born here in 1867. ?? Carl Mannerheim, an illustrious figure in the Finnish defense forces, who also served as the Marshal of Finland. The place is said (not confirmed) to be haunted by the spirits of the last Fleming who owned the house and his wife. Mr. Fleming used to lock his wife up in a little overhead cupboard when he was away or if any male guests visited the Manor. Food was given to her by the servants through the little window at the side. On one such ocassion, however, Mr Fleming forgot to inform the servants that he had locked up his wife, as a result of which, she died of starvation.
