Loviisa Heritage Homes

Discover the heartwarming lifestyle of Loviisa through two beloved annual events that showcase the town’s charm and history. Delve into the carefully renovated and creatively adorned old houses during the Loviisa Heritage Homes Event in the autumn, and witness the magical transformation during The Historical Christmas Homes of Loviisa in December.

The Loviisa Heritage Homes is a traditional Finnish Building and Renovation Event, a local highlight since 2005. Held during the last weekend of August, it attracts over 15,000 visitors during its best years. This event is a testament to the town’s commitment to supporting local construction and renovation traditions. Step inside historical, over 100-year-old private homes that generously open their doors to the public, offering a unique glimpse into Loviisa’s rich heritage. Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of this time-honored tradition.

The Loviisa Heritage Homes, an event where, for an admission fee, the public can explore houses, homes, and gardens over a century old, is a true testament to Loviisa’s preservation efforts. Attendees can witness the restoration processes of these historical buildings, creating a connection between the past and present. The event also features a myriad of side events, including antique markets, flea markets, and local food sales, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Recognized with accolades such as the Uusimaa Environmental Award in 2007, and the Finnish Association of Architects (SAFA) Award in 2009, Loviisa Heritage Homes has become an integral part of the town’s cultural landscape.

Mark your calendars for the next Loviisa Heritage Homes event on August 24-25, 2024, and be prepared for an enchanting journey into Loviisa’s history and architectural wonders.
