Loviisa Kotka

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.

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 HistoricalSea 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 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 childrens’ 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.

During the Svartholma sea fortress adventure, you prepare for the visit of the King and learn some of the secrets of the island.

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).

Bastion UngernWhen 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 1743-1808. 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.

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

Historic Buildings and Neo-Gothic Boldness

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

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.

CEMETERIESamong 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.

Historical buildings at the Strömfors Iron Works.

The Unique Setting of 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 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.

Rootsinpyhtää Bluegrass & Rendezvous at the Strömfors Iron Works on June 8th–10th 2012

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

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

MUSICAL REJOICING AT LURENSThe spry Swedish-speaking summer theatre of Lurens has operated on the grounds of Lurens Manor since 1958. The theatre is maintained by Östra Nylands Ungdomsförbund (ÖNUF), and it plays for full audiences every summer. The audience is able to follow the plays from a rotating auditorium. The play performed at Lurens during the summer of 2012 is Selma Lagerlöf’s fairy tale classic Nils Holgersson (The Wonderful Adventures of Nils). The premiere is at 7 p.m. June 29th and the last show is on August 3rd.Further information: ÖNUF’s officetel. +358 (0)19 532 412 or +358 (0)500 806 276 www.lurens.fi

The Liljendal Days

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 will be charmed by the lovely roses in all their possible forms on July 6th–8th. In addition to the gardens of Loviisa, the roses are found in poetry, music and art. Apart from rose exhibitions by individual artists, professors from the Repin Institute in St. Petersburg will give courses on pastel painting of roses. Master painter Airi Kallio introduces the public to the secrets of decorative painting and rose tea in the famous building Kappeli, which currently is undergoing renovation.

Roses and chocolate meet on Jaakko Halmetoja’s courses on crude chocolate. The courses are given at Restaurant Degerby Gille, in a building built in the 17th century. Other flowers and herbs are also present on the menu of the restaurant. However, roses can be found in the beverages and delicacies offered by other cafés and restaurants in Loviisa. The Rose Dance takes place at Laivasilta on Saturday, July 7th.

Expert lectures teach us of the history and cultivation of roses and the scent of roses charm us at the popular rose soap courses. The local shops offer the rose theme in delicacies, utensils, fabrics, wall paper and ornamental objects. The children have not been forgotten either – they can see the real Sleeping Beauty, Briar Rose, in a fairy tale park adorned by children.

This year the theme of the rose event is “The Rose – The Flower of Love”. In honour of this everyone is invited to a genuine rose wedding in the recently renovated Loviisa church. The first wedding fair of the Wedding City of Loviisa is also arranged in connection with the weekend. All the lovely wedding churches in the city are presented during the fair.

LOVIISA SINGING FESTIVAL August 5th

Photo: Eddie Bruce’s collections

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.

The renowned Loviisa Singing Festival started in 1899 and it has attracted both choirs and people who enjoy collective singing at the historic fortresses in Loviisa. 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.

Organizer: the association Loviisan laulu ry.Further information: tel. +358 (0)45 7840 5574www.loviisasongfestival.fi

In his youth, the composer Jean Sibelius spent several summers in Loviisa. The sun, the sea, summer and light filled him with impressions that were to inspire him for the rest of his life. This is also the frame in which international artists – and the festival audience – interpret Sibelius. The Loviisa Sibelius Festival is characterised by its warm, youthful atmosphere. Over the years, this traditional festival has brought a number of stars to the town under the management of artistic director Jan-Erik Gustafsson.
