Three Laitila videos: St Michael's Church, Vähä-Tulejärvi and Kauppila

Three distinct introductions to the medieval church, a forest nature trail and a historic enclosed farmstead.

Laitilan parish's introductory video is presented by local guide Lea Koskinen and focuses on St Michael's Church. The municipality dates the church and its vaulted paintings to 1483; the murals have a documented restoration history, and the parish says major renovation began in September 2026. The video helps viewers understand why the church anchors Laitila's heritage, but it should not be treated as current access information while the works continue.

This film is titled “Peace of the old forest” and names Vähä-Tulejärvi in Laitila. The municipal trail guide describes a marked loop of about five kilometres with nature interpretation boards, plus a shorter return option. The video offers a separate nature-focused introduction alongside the church and farmstead films. Its imagery does not confirm today's route conditions, so check current signs, maintenance and weather before going.

Laitila Info's short video is devoted to Kauppila's enclosed farmstead in the village of Koukkela. The municipality describes the site as a historic rural estate whose buildings remain largely in their original setting and span several centuries; it has served as a museum since 1975. The video is a useful visual introduction to the farmyard's cultural landscape. Kauppila opens seasonally, so verify the current visit arrangements before travelling.
