LOVIISA

The Pearl of the Southern Coast of Finland 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. 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.

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 EhrensvĂ¤rd. 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 blew the fortress to oblivion 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 recreational destination for families. Visitors can visit Svartholma by waterbus, which operates during regular hours. Guided walking tours are some of the activities available on the island. In the exciting childrensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; adventure, you can search for the lost archives of Svartholma. Free berths, exhauster for septic tanks, waste and water points, as well as campfire sites are available for guests. 9

EHRENSVÄRD’S TRAIL Beautiful and historically interesting Ehrensvärd’s trail starts from the fortresses Rosen and Ungern. The fascinating nature trail, approximately two kilometres long, offers a unique chance to ﬁnd out about the early stages of fortress building, from stone hammering to the 18th century fortress. In addition to the interesting construction history, visitors can admire the rich local ﬂora and birdlife along the walk. Ehrensvärd’s trail is well marked. The starting points are the Sports Pavilion (Urheilutie) and Bastion Ungern (Ungernintie).

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. 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. The Loviisa church was built in 1863–1865. The Loviisa church has served as a road church for many years and it is proud to be known as the “mother of road churches”. The church was renovated both on the inside and on the outside in 2011. Among other things two priceless glass paintings were restored. It is possible to admire the new beauty of the church at 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. on June 10th–August 12th, otherwise upon agreement. Loviisa Finnish Parish, tel. +358 (0)19 531 043 12

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

Historic Buildings and Neo-Gothic Boldness CEMETERIES Among others, the writer Runar Schildt and relatives of Jean Sibelius have been buried at the old Evangelical Lutheran cemetery. The new cemetery opened during the Finnish Winter War in 1939–1940. The Orthodox cemetery includes a small chapel, a chasovnya. The cemeteries are situated close to each other, on both sides of Myllyharju Ridge.

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 historic Town Hall, the Post Office, the Pharmacy Building, the Sparbank and the District Court House, all valuable conservation sites. 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 1900th 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. 13

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 193040s. Currently, Crane Park is home to the biggest poplar trees in Finland. The park with a water theme is surrounded by ﬁne lindens. The fountain statue of Crane Park was made by sculptor Jussi Mäntynen.

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 Strömfors Iron Works district is characterised by handicrafts. Life in the centuries-old environment is indicative of the traditions of the region. The craftsmen work all year at the iron works and during summer small shops, museums, workshops and the summer café open their doors. 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 offers delicious meals during summer as well as winter. 21

Inﬂuencial Personalities in Finnish History

Liljendal church is representative of typical 19th century church architecture, Eskilomintie 9.

The oldest building in Loviisa and the oldest church of the area, medieval St. Michael’s Church in Pernaja is considered a church historical treasure. The wooden church in Ruotsinpyhtää is home to the altarpiece entitled “Resurrection”, painted by Helene Schjerfbeck in 1898. The art work is the only altarpiece ever done by the artist.

Agricola lived in a rich peasant house, which was one of the five taxed freeholds of the village. He got his surname Agricola (“farmer”) at the Latin school in Vyborg because of his father’s occupation. The vicar of the local parish persuaded Mikael’s parents to send him there. Many famous people have lived and worked in the Loviisa area. These include composers, writers, artists, architects and nobles, such as Jean Sibelius, Runar Schildt, Nils Schillmark, Verner Weckman, Ragnar Nordström, Georg Chiewitz, Augustin Ehrensvärd, Berndt Lindholm, C. G. Armfelt, Helene Schjerfbeck, Gustaf Philip Creutz and Lorentz Creutz. 29

Rootsinpyhtää Bluegrass & Rendezvous at the Strömfors Iron Works on June 8th–10th 2012 The festival Rootsinpyhtää Bluegrass & Rendezvous celebrates its 25th anniversary! 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 25th time the perfect setting for the festival. The European immigrants took their

Night of the Zombies Boo! You can experience chilling terror at the Finnish summer theatre Loviisan Teatteri’s horror musical “Zombien yö (Night of the Zombies)” at the pavilion of Bastion Ungern on August 24th– September 9th. The dance-spiced debut musical is performed in Finnish at dusk, when the zombies prowl as well… Further information: Loviisan Teatteriyhdistys ry. tel. +358 (0)400 541 057 www.loviisanteatteri.net

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 June 30th–July 1st 2012 Queen Lovisa Ulrika, after whom the city was named, can be seen in Loviisa in the summer of 2012. King Adolf Fredrik arrives on Sunday, July 1st at Bastion Ungern, where the music-rich play “Queen Lovisa Ulrika’s Outing” is performed in Finnish to entertain him. In addition to the Queen, the pastoral play also features courtier and poet Gustaf Philip Creutz, who hailed from Malmgård in Pernaja. The public can join in at the outing after the play. The newly crowned King Adolf Fredrik visited the eastern parts of the realm in June 1752, at which time he inspected the fortification construction in Svartholma and Degerby. During this visit the King gave Degerby the new name Loviisa after Queen Lovisa Ulrika. In reality the Queen never visited her namesake town. The 18th century weekend kicks off on Saturday June 30th with a handicrafts market at Aleksanterinpiha. The Good Citizens of Loviisa arrange the event, which now takes place for the 15th time. The association is made up by a group of aficionados of 18th century history and customs. Further information: Loviisa Tourist Office tel. +358 (0)19 555 234, www.loviisa.fi

LOVIISA SINGING FESTIVAL August 5th The power of singing is enormous. People sing for freedom, out of despair, for better or for worse, to praise and to protest, to celebrate or to lament – but above all, to be happy.

During its peak year, 1971, nearly 8,000 music lovers gathered at Bastion Ungern. The international and multilingual choir event will again take place at Bastion Ungern on Sunday, August 5th.
