Teiskon salonsaari
A house of good memories
Welcome to make your dreams come true in Teisko Salonsaari! We brought our vision to life and renovated the 1920s rectory. “It doesn’t have to be perfect” – atmosphere was created, which combines homeliness and a lofty priestly decor. We are located on an island that can be reached by land and water. We are delighted by the various activities, events and people enlivening the old house!
In summer, we also hold a summer cafe. Look at the opening hours at the top.

A history of the house:
1925 Teisko Seurakunta buys four hectares of Salonsaari from A. Tammelander. In addition, the congregation redeems the common mill plot of the nearby farms, and the strait between the island and the mainland is filled.
1927 The Teisko parsonage is inaugurated as early as 1926, but the building is officially completed in 1927. At the dedication of the building, the building still lacks the period-specific vertical battening, although the corner pilasters and palmette moldings are already visible.
1942 The parsonage shed burns, but the fire is prevented from spreading to other buildings. In the basement of the rectory, additional thermal insulation is made and HVAC repairs are made due to broken pipes. The renovation is planned by construction engineer H. Nurmio and HVAC repair technician L. Viitanen. After the winter and continuation war, the parsonage’s sauna is also in residential use.
1960 The agricultural buildings are demolished. Of the outbuildings, only a part of the former large stable building, an outdoor toilet and a sauna building remain.
1963 A deaconess’s apartment is built on the upper floor of the rectory. In connection with the renovation work, a toilet space will be built on the upper floor.
1967 The first renovation of the apartment building is carried out. At the same time, water and drainage will be installed in the building.
1982 As a result of the change in the priestly culture, a change of use to a camp center is requested for the buildings. The passage to the upper floor is changed to a straight staircase from the porch. However, the change drawings made in connection with the building permit are not fully implemented, even though the rectory functions as a camp center for ten years. The planning of the change work will be carried out by Pirpalan Ky.
1985 A change of use is applied for the apartment building, when it is officially returned to residential use. The plan will be implemented by Pirpalan Ky.
1992 The law regulating the salary of the clergy is amended in 1990 so that people live in the rectory in a rental relationship. Returning the parsonage to residential use became relevant with the new vicar in 1992.
1993 Previous exterior painting. At the same time, small repairs were made to the left side of the main porch.
2001 The parsonage is rented out as a private residence to non-parish staff members. The area is still owned by the parish association. The passage to the upper floor will be returned to the original model from the entrance hall.
2017 After the long-term resident of the rectory moved out, the rectory remains empty, waiting for renovation and a possible change of use.
2019 Façade renovation, building history survey and condition assessments are completed. The little chapel is still in residential use
