Vehkalahden kirkkomuseo

About the museum

The Vehkalahti church museum is housed in the Marian kirkko (Church of Mary) in Hamina, on Pikkuympyränkatu. The museum brings together church objects that were used in the parish or donated to it. Visitors enter through the church’s asehuone (side room) and climb old wooden stairs to the upper floor.

The museum displays beautiful handicrafts that parishioners made and gave for their clergy to use. Most of the objects date from the early 19th century. Visitors may hear how the church was built and how it operated. The church is described as the oldest building in Kymenlaakso. The church and the museum belong to the Hamina parish.
