Kytäjä church

Kytäjä is a church in Hyvinkää municipality that sits at an elevation of about 103 meters and displays Nordic wooden architectural design. The building stands in a rural setting roughly 15 kilometers east of the town center.

The building was completed in 1939 based on the architectural design by Väinö Vähäkallio, who owned the neighboring Kytäjä Manor at that time. Its construction was part of local development during that era.

The church carries three distinct heritage designations in Finland and serves today as a place for regular worship and community gatherings. These designations reflect the building's importance to the cultural heritage of the region.

The church is open regularly for services and can be reached by direct bus from the town center. Visitors should check local service times and respect the quiet nature of its rural location.

The village was home to the largest privately owned farm in the Nordic countries during the late 1800s. This historical connection makes the area an interesting place to explore the rural history of the region.
