Kavantholm Manor
Kavantholm was a manor house with a history dating back to the 16th century. It was first owned by Måns Nilsson till Ahtis, the vogt of the Vyborg Castle. In 1562 the king Eric XIV of Sweden granted to manor it to the stadtholder Bertil Göransson Mjöhund. Later in the 16th and 17th centuries it was owned by the noble families of Stubbe, Skalm and Taube and since 1658 by Henrik von Rehbinder. After Rehbinder's death in 1680, the manor was returned to the Crown. As the Old Finland was ceded to Russia in 1721, Kavantholm was granted to the captain Ivan Menshoi Shuvalov.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Vozrozhdeniye, Leningrad Oblast” as posyolok in Kamennogorskoye urban settlement, Vyborgsky District, Leningrad Oblast, Russia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as posyolok in Kamennogorskoye urban settlement, Vyborgsky District, Leningrad Oblast, Russia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4114947. Authority coordinates are 60.861, 28.964. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1892, 1948, 1562 and 1658.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
