About Keskilohja
What are the main landmarks in Keskilohja?
The old church anchors it all. Pyhän Laurin kirkko, the medieval stone church of Lohja, stands at the centre of the district, and the Lohjan museo keeps the city's collection close by. The timber Luoman talo survives among the central streets, the Metsolan siunauskappeli serves the cemetery on the edge, and the Lohjan vapaaseurakunta holds its own congregation here too.
What is the history of Keskilohja?
Keskilohja grew up around its church before anything else. Pyhän Laurin kirkko, the medieval stone church, fixed the centre of Lohja long before the modern districts were drawn, and the settlement of this municipality in Uusimaa gathered around it. The Lohjan museo later took up the town's record, while the old Luoman talo kept a timber house standing among newer streets.
Keskilohja became the core.
