Kanta-Loimaa Church

The Kanta-Loimaa Church displays Neoclassical architecture with symmetrical proportions and stands at an elevation of 86 meters above sea level.

Multiple architects, including Charles Bassi and Carl Ludvig Engel, contributed to the church's design, which was completed and opened in August 1837.

The church forms part of the Kanta-Loimaa church and vicarage complex, serving as a central religious institution for the Lutheran congregation since its establishment.

The church, located at Kanta-Loimaantie 13 in Loimaa, maintains regular services and welcomes visitors throughout the week for prayer and reflection.

In 1892, the church underwent reconstruction after lightning caused a fire, leading to modifications that enhanced its structural resilience.
