Church of St. Lawrence, Lohja

The murals from early 16th century make it one of the most valuable medieval buildings in Finland.

The wooden parts of the bell tower were given their present form during the vast reparations after the Great Northern War.

[4] The construction of the upper part was overseen by German master builder Johann Friedrich Schultz around year 1740.
