From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dragsvik is a village in Ekenäs, Raseborg, Finland.[1] The Dragsvik railway station and the Dragsvik manor are located there.
Dragsvik was first mentioned in 1549 as Draxuik. The name originally referred to a nearby bay (Swedish: vik) near which boats were dragged over land.[1]
Dragsvik is also home to the Finnish Navy marine infantry unit Nyland Brigade's garrison.[2] Since 2022, US Marines have been training in the area, and the military presence in the area has intensified further after the DCA agreement entered into force in 2024.[3]
