Ruotsinpyhtää Church, Gothic Revival church in Loviisa, Finland.

The octagonal wooden Ruotsinpyhtää Church stands at an elevation of 16 meters, featuring pointed arches and detailed architectural elements throughout its structure.

Following the 1743 Treaty of Åbo that divided Pyhtää village between Sweden and Russia, this church was constructed in 1771 on the Swedish side.

The church displays an altarpiece created in 1898 by Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck, representing a connection between religious architecture and national art.

The church maintains its role as an active place of worship while welcoming visitors interested in exploring its architectural features and historical significance.

The structure forms part of Strömforsin ruukkiyhdyskunta, connecting the religious building to Finland's industrial heritage through its location in an iron-working community.
