Borchardt House
German merchant Anton Borchardt built this stone house in 1653, with a wine cellar where drinking and business were deliberately mixed: agreements with town councillors were traditionally sealed over wine or with a liquid gift. The restored building preserves the memory of a port city whose German, Swedish and Finnish-speaking merchants negotiated as enthusiastically as they drank.
