Nummi Church

Nummi Church is a stone church in neoclassical style located in a village near Lohja, Finland. The building features a cross-shaped floor plan and a tall bell tower on its eastern side topped with a weathervane depicting the sun and moon.

The building was erected in 1822 and replaced a wooden church that had stood since the 1600s. It was designed by Abraham Niclas Edelcrantz from the Royal Building Administration, who established its neoclassical form.

The church serves as a focal point for the local community of Nummi and provides a space where visitors experience quiet reflection. Inside, the traditional Lutheran layout with altar, pulpit, and pews reflects how worship has been conducted here for generations.

The church remains active for religious services and welcomes visitors to explore the interior at most times. When visiting, guests should be aware that cultural buildings like this require respectful and quiet behavior from those entering.

The roof is crowned with three crosses and a radiant sun that shine above the building and make it visible from above. The southern wall also displays stained glass windows depicting Christ that fill the interior with colored light.
