Pohja Church

The stone church stands near a narrow sea bay, featuring a fine bell tower and an open courtyard for contemplative walks.

Built between 1475 and 1480, the church occupies an ancient market and ceremonial site, with evidence of a wooden predecessor from two centuries earlier.

This religious structure, dedicated to Virgin Mary, represents both Finnish and Swedish heritage through its dual names: Pyhän Marian kirkko and Pojo kyrka.

The church lies 80 kilometers from Helsinki and 100 kilometers from Turku, with train connections to Karjaa followed by a 10-kilometer local bus ride.

The church grounds connect to Kasberget, a Bronze Age burial site offering extensive views of the surrounding village and coastal landscapes.
