We almost skipped this, but are really glad we didn't. It was the farthest site on our list for the day, and we were tired, but it's an extremely unique and lovely church. We walked there from Esplanadi and it was about 25 minutes. The church was free to enter and there were musicians playing really relaxing music, so we just sat and chilled while enjoying the unique architecture. After about 20 minutes we left and walked on top of the church on the rock structure it was built into. Pretty cool visit.

This cathedral is very grand and magnificent from the outside and very intimate from the inside. It reminds us of the coexistence of the Eastern and Western Christian traditions in Finland. Don't miss the church bells, art of one kind!

The medieval Church of St. Lawrence is located in the city centre of Lohja. This late-gothic style church was built somewhere between 1470 and 1490 and it is the 3rd largest medieval parish church in Finland. The rustic and naive murals on the walls and valves from early 16th century make the church one of the most valuable medieval buildings in Finland. The murals depicted biblical stories for the illiterate population. Prior to the Protestant Reformation and the introduction of Lutheranism into Finland, the church served as the Roman Catholic Church. The great wooden crucifix hanging from the vault roof is from the 15th century and it is believed that it´s made in the city of Turku, Finland.
