The Church of St. Lawrence is one of the most remarkable medieval churches in Finland, outstanding because of its exceptionally rich murals.
The Lohja church, dedicated to St. Lawrence, is due to its rich painted ornaments one of the most remarkable architectural monuments of medieval Finland. The church is estimated to have been finished in the turn on the 15th and 16th centuries. The size of the Lohja church is notable: it is the third largest stone church after the Turku and Naantali Birgitta-style churches. The rich al-secco style paintings of the Lohja church have a unique status as the last medieval art creations of Finland. The primary function of the pictures was to teach the illiterate.
