The Coastal Loviisa

is the best

small town in Finland!

Loviisa, founded in 1745, has an interesting history. The town features fabulous town architecture, an inviting guest harbour and a unique feeling created by historical buildings, blooming gardens and a compact town centre. Pictorial countryside, beautiful archipelago, old Strömfors Iron Works milieu and versatile outdoor life opportunities will optimise your visit.

And of course the children will also enjoy themselves in this home town of children’s Jill and Joy (Onneli and Anneli) movies. All this you can find along the E18 highway, less than an hour’s drive from Helsinki and within easy reach from Porvoo, Kotka and Kouvola.

The Loviisa-dwellers are the friendliest along the south coast of Finland, wishing their guests warmly welcome.

Just like in the old times!

Wooden houses & cobblestone streets The historical lower part of town by the seaside is one of the most uniform 18th century wooden town sections in Finland. Cobblestones, sandy alleys, sheltered courtyards and bright-coloured facades make you smile. Loviisa has the 1970s town architect Elmar Badermann to thank for preserving the lower town plan, town structure and the valuable old buildings as an intact whole.

Big Adventure

Svartholma is a sister fortress of Suomenlinna in Helsinki, belonging to the same defence chain of fortresses. The fortification of the island was started in 1748 according to the plans made by Colonel Augustin Ehrensvärd. Most of the work was finished during the 1750s.

The Swedish command in Svartholma came to an end in 1808, when Svartholma surrendered almost without resistance to Russia. During the Crimean war in 1855 an English squadron blasted the fortress, and the ruins were left as they were.

Loviisa church The imposing neo-gothic church in the centre of Loviisa was finished in 1865. The red-brick church was designed by the architect G.T. Chiewitz and built in 1862–1865 after the previous wooden church was destroyed in a town fire in 1855. Some artefacts could be rescued from the old church and put on display at the present one, e.g. the old altar piece and crucifix, as well as the clock and the brass crown in the sacristy.

Windmill

Kukkukivi tower

The windmill is a beautiful sight on top of the Myllyharju ridge, about 200 metres from the church. According to lore, there used to be ten mills on the ridge up until the end of the 19th century. The present restored windmill was brought there in 1926.

From the beautiful nationalromantic Kukkukivi you can enjoy a panorama view over the Bay of Loviisa.

The tower was designed by architect K. Hjelt in 1906, as part of Loviisa’s history as a spa town. The visitors to the spa took walks here to admire the scenery and breathe in fresh sea air. The nicely restored cast iron tower Kukkukivi is located on the ridge in the middle of Loviisa, and it is still a very popular place to stop for a moment of rest.

Open from June 4th until August 10th, Tuesdays through Saturdays, and on Saturday August 17th, 24th and 25th from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Bastions, Ungern and Rosen The fortress bastions Ungern and Rosen are grand landmarks of Loviisa town centre. Designed

by Augustin Ehrensvärd, the construction of the fortresses to safeguard the eastern border of Sweden was started in 1748.

According to the original plan, the whole town would have been surrounded by the fortress, but only a part of the construction was finished. The bastions Ungern and Rosen were almost done, as well as their earthfill embankments. The ruined walls of the bastions have been repaired often over time, and both of them are presently used as recreation areas.

Strömfors Iron Works Johan Creutz founded the iron works in 1698 and later sold it to Jacob Forsell and Anders Nohrström. In 1790, the 31-year-old Virginia af Forselles became manager of the works, and she continued to manage it for almost 60 years. Most of the present buildings are from this period.

You can visit the forge museum, watch forging at the upper forge, admire art exhibitions at Tallinvintti gallery and enjoy the open air summer theatre at Ruukinmylly.

The awarded beers and ciders from the Malmgård Brewery are products of careful manual labour. You can take a tour of the brewery or just enjoy the atmosphere in the shop and summer café.

Delicious moments one after another The crown of an eventful day is a good meal. The atmospheric cafés and restaurants at Loviisa are a challenge to your figure! But who would care during a vacation.

Restaurant Loviisan Kappeli in its original glamour Airi Kallio, qualified Restorer Painter, has restored Loviisan Kappeli to its original splendour.

Laivasilta area

At Café-Restaurant Saltbodan at Laivasilta you can spend enjoyable summer evenings listening to music. The restaurant waits on tables, and the atmospheric bar uses half a boat as a counter. Beautiful summer days are best enjoyed by sitting in the outside area.

Right next to the beach, Café-Restaurant Laivasilta serves barbeque food and delicious hamburgers to be enjoyed in the evening sun.

Konditoria-Café Vaherkylä is the most traditional of Loviisa cafés, Favorit Cafe & Teashop the newest and Sakura undoubtedly the best hidden. In all of these you can enjoy your coffee and cake outside, if you wish. You can choose from a variety of cakes also at Saltbodan at Laivasilta.

Greetings from Loviisa!

A sympathetic little town with a lot going on.

Many flea markets, old town and nice cafés. #youdcertainlylikeit

Café Tuhannen tuskan kahvila Tuhannen tuskan kahvila (The café of one thousand pains) in the historical lower town area is a sight in itself.

In its peaceful inner courtyard you will forget all rush and hurry. Bring a friend to chat with, or a magazine!

The mistress’s salty doughnuts, or soughnuts, are famous even abroad.

The café is open from the 1st of May until late autumn, and falls into hibernation after the Loviisa Christmas event.

Loviisa Camping, a great oasis for campers

Loviisa Camping is a unique experience even for a seasoned camper. The large park-like area by the sea is shaded by magnificent oaks. Of the two historical wooden villas, the other serves all visitors and the rooms of other villa can be rented. The investments in comfort include swings for daydreaming and a jetty shack for spending evenings with friends. Loviisa Camping is the most charming campers’ oasis in Finland.

Strömfors Iron Works

Place to Sleep in the town centre is the newest hotel in Loviisa. The rooms of this self-service hotel have been totally renovated during the past two years.

There’s a breakfast restaurant at the hotel. Hotel Zilton is a small hotel in the opposite side of the street from Place to Sleep. Zilton has a bar with karaoke and live band nights, and the hotel serves lunch during weekdays.

Rönnäs at the seaside by the golfcourse is the biggest concentration of cabins in the area, but there are plenty of villas, cabins and other choices of accomodation around the large township. The alternatives are listed on pages 26–27.
