Sammatti Church, Wooden church in Lohja, Finland

The Sammatti Church features traditional Finnish ecclesiastical architecture and stands at an elevation of 71 meters in the municipality of Lohja.

Built in 1755 by Mickel Jöransson, this structure represents the third church constructed for the Sammatti congregation since records began in 1406.

The church maintains strong connections to Finnish literature through Elias Lönnrot, who delivered sermons and contributed to the Finnish hymn book during his retirement.

The interior of the church accommodates 350 people and contains an altarpiece created by Adolf von Becker through a donation from Elias Lönnrot.

The cemetery includes the final resting place of Elias Lönnrot, marking the continuous presence of this national figure in Sammatti's religious community.
