Medieval church, bell tower and graveyard. Occasional guided tours of the graveyard (in Finnish). Parking ample and convenient for Laurinmäki open air museum and nature trail

A truly idyllic church, which already produces a devout mind from its atmosphere. Great acoustics.

On July 1-3, the 10th Baroque Music Festival in Janakkala took place. Good organization and program. The church has excellent acoustics. You can hear well from anywhere. In the strongest July heat, it was comfortably cool. Parking is very spacious, there is a toilet.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
