Geocache Description:

This multi-cache shows you some old ruins in Kauniainen, Finland. These ruins are the remains of Mr. Frans Stockmann's villa. They began to build the castle in 1918 but unfortunately it was never finished due to the dead of Mr. Stockmann. Frans Stockmann was the younger son of Mr. Georg Franz Stockmann, the founder of Stockmann departement store in Helsinki.

The Cache

Go to the given coordinates, to the castle ruins.

1. Count the SMALL square windows. Let their number be A.

2. Count the doors (doorlike windows, longer than others). Let their number be B.

3. Count the arched windows (don't count the BIG square window). Let their number be C.


The calculations are easy, but the hardest part is to get the cache.

Final coordinates: N 60° 13.xxx E 24° 41.yyy

A*C*3-17 = xxx (A*B*C)+400+(B*C)-1 = yyy


You have to be careful when walking on the rocks. Especially in winter they are very slippery. You might also need to be stealthy, while there are lots of new houses nearby. Through the year there are also youngsters playing airsoft matches in the ruins and sometimes people are partying there too (weekend nights).
