LOVIISA

Small town, great experiences Loviisa, an idyllic old port town between Porvoo and Kotka, is less than an hour’s drive east of Helsinki. The Swedish King Adolf Fredrik was very fond of the town and named it after his wife, Queen Lovisa Ulrika.

LOVIISA Land area 819 km2 Freshwater area 26 km2 Salt water area 900 km2 Inhabitants approx. 15,600 Helsinki 87 km Porvoo 37 km Kotka 46 km St. Petersburg 296 km

The coastal town of Loviisa has a rich history. The bilingual town has a remarkable main square surrounded by 19th century stately stone houses and immediately next to the centre, you will find the old town districts with their wooden houses, as well as gravel and cobblestone streets. On the western side, you will find the bold neo-gothic Church, while fortresses built in the 18th century are on the eastern side. The sea stretches all the way to the town centre. The Laivasilta area is related to the sailing history of the region and is characterised by its red salt warehouses, making it a popular area for meetings and events during summers.

Loviisa has nearly 16,000 inhabitants and it offers a wide range of cultural sites, rich natural beauty and plenty of activities. Only a short distance from the Loviisa town centre, you can admire manors and craftsmen’s workshops in the area of the Strömfors Iron Works. You can also learn about the interesting past of the area through the historical buildings and fortresses.

The pristine natural environment offers the opportunity for swimming, picnicking, hiking and fishing, as well as playing golf. The high-quality accommodations and long list of cultural events optimise a guest’s stay.

A Leisure Trip to the Historical

Sea Fortress of Svartholma

The sea fortress of Svartholma, located at the entrance to Bay of Loviisa, is a sister fortress to Suomenlinna in Helsinki. They belong to the same defence chain of fortresses. The construction of Svartholma started in 1748 according to plans made by Colonel Augustin Ehrensvärd. Most of the work was carried out in the 1750s.

The Swedish command ended in 1808 when Svartholma surrendered almost without resistance to Russia. During the Crimean War in 1855 an English squadron blasted the fortress and it was left as it was. Starting in the 1960s, it has been restored under the supervision of the National Board of Antiquities.

Svartholma is a popular visiting destination for the whole family.

You can get there on your own boat as well as on booked or scheduled boat services. Guided walking tours are available on the island. During the exciting childrens’ adventure, you will find out about the mysteries of Svartholma. Free berths, exhauster for septic tanks, waste points and campfire sites are available for guests.

You can also pick it up at the Tourist Office.

Genuine feeling of bygone days at Bastion Ungern.

The History of Fortresses

and Brave Soldiers

Bastion Ungern

When heading for Loviisa centre from the east, the first sites you will encounter are the grand Ungern and Rosen fortresses. They were built in the 1750s to protect the town. The renovated Ungern is a popular venue for concerts, events and plays.

Loviisa also offers other interesting fortifications and buildings built during the fortress era, for instance the Commandant’s House built in 1755. Nowadays the Loviisa Town Museum is located in the Commandant’s House.

In Ahvenkoski there are redoubts dating back to the 1700s.

These fortifications were built during the Swedish era to protect the border check point at the Kymijoki River next to the King’s Road. Kymijoki River was the border of Sweden and Russia 17431808. The first shots of the Finnish War 1808–1809 were fired on February 21st in 1808, when the Russian soldiers crossed the border in Ahvenkoski. A rare arch bridge, Savukoski Bridge, is also located in Ahvenkoski. You will reach the area through Pyhtää.

11

A CHURCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET Visitors can not miss the bold neo-gothic church in Loviisa, since the impressive building is located at the western gateway of the city centre.

Loviisa Church was built in 1863–1865 and it has served as a road church for many years.

The church was renovated both on the inside and on the outside in 2011.

Among other things two priceless glass paintings were restored.

You can admire the church Monday through Saturday at 11 a.m.–4 p.m. on June 10th–August 11th. Mass on Sundays in Finnish at 10 a.m. and in Swedish at 12 noon, tel. +358 (0)44 722 9200, www.loviisanseurakunta.fi

The surroundings of Loviisa Square are architecturally unique. Instead of supermarkets, it is surrounded by 19th century stone buildings.

CEMETERIES Among others, the writer Runar Schildt and relatives of the composer Jean Sibelius have been buried at the old Evangelical Lutheran cemetery.

The new Evangelical Lutheran cemetery was opened in 1935. The Orthodox cemetery includes a small chapel, a chasovnya.

The cemeteries are situated close to each other, on both sides of Myllyharju Ridge.

Historic Buildings and Neo-Gothic Boldness Loviisa is known for its peaceful small town character. On the square, you can experience the relaxing atmosphere that also continues in the charming and historical lower part of the town.

Loviisa is a fascinating destination for architecture lovers. The central square is surrounded by 19th century stone buildings. The Loviisa Town Hall reminds one of the contemporary House of Nobility in Helsinki, both designed by architect Georg Chiewitz.

We can be grateful to architect Georg Chiewitz for the 19th century view. Thanks to Elmar Badermann, the German born city architect of Loviisa, the Old Town and the historical lower district were kept almost intact. He was a strong-headed man, who saved the town from most planning mistakes in the wild 1970s.

Several Neo-Romantic buildings, such as the Swedish upper secondary school “Lovisa Gymnasium� by Magnus Schjerfbeck represent more modern architecture. The Bus Station, which represents later functionalism, is also a true pearl.

The Lower District of Loviisa is a popular tourist site. Old buildings have been renovated with an eye to respecting local traditions.

CRANE PARK The famous park architect Paul Olsson designed Crane Park as an extension to the Esplanad Park as early as 1917. The plan was realized in the 1930– 40s. Crane Park is home to imposing Petrowskiana poplars.

The park with a water theme is surrounded by fine lindens. The fountain statue of Crane Park was made by sculptor Jussi Mäntynen.

Old Wooden Houses,

Green Parks

Water and green areas contribute to the charm of Kappelinpuisto Park.

The Old Town, a wood house area adjacent to the town centre, is a marvellous entity of its own. There you will find a 17th century building belonging to Degerby Estate. Today the building is home to restaurant Degerby Gille. Also the historical Lower District and the Garnison are idyllic wooden house areas where you can admire the craftsmanship of old masters.

the Strömfors Iron Works The governor of Uusimaa and Turku province, Johan Creutz, founded the iron works in the westernmost junction of the Kymijoki River in 1698. Strömfors Iron Works got its name in 1744, when Jacob Forsell and Anders Nohrström acquired the iron works.

In 1790, the iron works got a new manager, the 31-year-old Virginia af Forselles, who managed Strömfors Iron Works for almost 60 years. A large part of the well-kept environment and buildings currently on display at the iron works are from this period.

The iron works district offers a relaxing holiday site all year long in a historical environment. The area is home to first-class holiday apartments and the unique hostel Krouvinmäki built of clay. The Restaurant Ruukinmylly and the Lunch Restaurant Fellmanni are also open during winter.

Events

Rootsinpyhtää Bluegrass & Rendezvous at the Strömfors Iron Works on June 7th–9th The festival founded in 1988 brings the best foreign and Finnish bluegrass bands to town, who together with history aficionados recreate the life of the European immigrants who took this music to America. The Strömfors Iron Works is for the 26th time the perfect setting for the festival.

The European immigrants took their

folk music to America where it developed into “bluegrass” influenced by blues, gospel as well as other influences. The journey into the roots of bluegrass just feels right in the original buildings of the 18th and 19th century iron works. The historical atmosphere is ideal and you won’t need a lot of imagination to envision the people

from northern Europe who decided to travel overseas.

Welcome to the American musician and traditions festival where you can experience the atmosphere of the times when your grandparents left for America!

For further information, please visit: www.rootsinpyhtaa.fi

Events The King Comes to Loviisa on July 6th–7th Fashion from the 18th Century

Panniers, laces and wigs – fashion trends and foolery were already a rage in the 18th century. The width of the laces and panniers were measured for the luxury tax. Also, soldiers’ jackets got longer and shorter as trends shifted. The country folk tried to appear as elegant as their handiwork and wealth allowed.

The Good Citizens of Loviisa introduce 18th century attires in a fashion show on Sunday July 7th at 1 p.m. in Kappelinpuisto Helmi. In addition to what the nobility wore, the show includes the dresses worn by middle-class and country women – not to mention men’s wear.

The 18th century weekend starts on Saturday July 6th from 9 a.m.– 2 p.m. with a programmed crafts market in Aleksanterinpiha.

This year marks the 16th King Comes to Loviisa event and is organized by the association the Good Citizens of Loviisa, which includes members interested in 18th century history and culture.

The event includes the visit of the recently crowned Adolf Frederik, King of Sweden, to the eastern area of his kingdom in 1752. During the visit, the King named the town Degerby anew after Queen Lovisa Ulrika.
