is situated in the Luhju coastal farm, which is one of the oldest known residences in Karjalohja. It is believed there has been a vicarage here as far back as the 16th century.

convention place, offering high quality, worry-free living and conferencing premises in the middle of the beautiful Finnish Uusimaa countryside, in a landscape second to none.

You can bathe in the
sauna, row a boat, fish, and in the winter, cross-country
ski. The sunny meadows and beautiful forests beckon you to ramble, yielding plentiful berries and mushrooms towards the fall. You can cook your own gourmet meals in the well equipped
kitchen, or have
lunch in the smorgasbord of the
spa which is no more than 900 meters away. For your use we have reserved - among other things - rowboats, mountain
bikes, an outdoor
barbecue, and in the winter, rodel-sleds and a sizable hole in the ice. (yes - try swimming in the lake in winter!). Your kids will also love it in Laiskanlinna. For
conferences, family reunions and other group events there is a summer house equipped for all-year-round use for 30+30 people (30 in the outside

If you feel like driving around lake Lohjanjrvi, do not miss the opportunity to visit the 'Paikkarin Torppa' in Sammatti - the birthplace of a cherished Finnish writer and poet Elias Lnnrot. In Lohja, St. Lauri's Church and the underground mining museum of Tytyri are worth a visit. Onwards from Lohja, you can go on to Alitalo vineyard in Lohjasaari island, and pay a visit to castle Mustio, where you can also dine in a very classy castle-style
restaurant. Especially in the summer, the Fiskars town area with its workshops and fine handicraft, and Tammisaari, one of the most beautiful old coastal towns in Finland, are certainly worth visiting.
