Church in Uusimaa, Finland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pusula Church (Finnish: Pusulan kirkko; Swedish: Pusula kyrka) is a wooden church located in the Pusula village in Lohja, Finland. The church was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel and it was built by master builder Henrik Andsten.[1] The church was completed in 1838.[2] After its completion, structural problems appeared in the church, as its walls could not withstand the weight of the roof, so the roof had to be lowered by 8 meters. The repair work was done in 1858-59.[1][2]
