St. Bridget's church ruins

The remains include two-meter-high stone walls and an attached sacristy, displaying the rectangular layout of a fifteenth-century religious structure.

Built between 1500 and 1520, the church served as the main parish center until 1801, when structural problems led to its dismantling for materials.

Religious ceremonies still take place at this location during summer months, maintaining a connection between current inhabitants and medieval Finnish church traditions.

The ruins stand near the newer Vihti Church, constructed in 1772, and visitors can examine the remaining stone foundations and wall sections.

The church's original wooden vaulted ceiling contained paintings from 1670, while only the sacristy featured stone vaulting in its construction.
