[4] The primary building material used in construction of Vihti church is red brick which has been plastered and painted.

The construction work was completed in 1772 and the new church was standing in the middle of the village on the Hartanmäki hill.

The only exception to this is the old sacristy which was later turned into a smaller, separate church room for services in Swedish.

The diary of dean Hipping tells a story about the disaster: "But a harsh faith was waiting for this beautiful church.

The fire was spreading fast and in approximately one hour had everything that was inside of the church turned into ashes.

After some waiting Vihti parish was granted a permission to reconstruct the church according to Bassi's blueprints.

Some of the church's classical features such as the dome and the windows of the bell tower were transformed to represent gothic revival.

[2][1] In 1847 Fredrik Pacius had organised a spiritual concert in Helsinki to rise funds to buy a new organ for Vihti church.

[2][1] Vihti church underwent a large renovation, designed by architect Kauno S. Kallio, in 1928–1929.

Also the gothic features were removed from the bell tower in order to make it look like it originally was according to Bassi's plans.

Some renovation works were carried out inside of the church in 1985 with architect Carl-Johan Slotte.

Slotte, for example, removed some benches to make more room for a larger choir and orchestra.

Vihti church was also painted from the inside and the interior after the renovation represents 1920s classicism.
