Pyhtää videoilla: Pyhä Henrik, Kaunissaari ja Strukan sulku

Kolme erilaista videota esittelee Pyhtään keskiaikaisen kirkon, Kaunissaaren yhteydet ja Strukan sulun.

The Pyhtää parish video introduces the medieval stone church through its dedication to St Henry and a local speaker’s account of the Henry and Lalli tradition. It is useful preparation for looking closely at the church’s medieval sculpture and long parish history. The story it recounts is religious tradition, not proof that the legendary event took place in Pyhtää. The video complements the municipality’s architectural facts; check the parish calendar for current visitor access, since the church is active and opens to visitors at designated times.

Visit Kotka-Hamina’s 16-second clip is a compact practical introduction to Kaunissaari. Its description names access by private boat, charter or the connection ferry from Kotka’s Kuusinen harbour, and mentions services available on the island. The short format makes it a quick orientation rather than a guide to departures, reservations or seasonal opening. Pair it with the operator’s current Kotka–Pyhtää timetable and verify your return sailing before setting out, particularly when planning an overnight stay.

Dronellinen videoita’s four-minute film gives an aerial look at Struka lock near the Pyhtää church village. Its title and description identify the lock, while the municipality explains why it was built for Stockfors freight and why it remains an unusual hand-operated sea lock. The video is best seen as a visual overview of the river engineering and setting; it does not provide safe access instructions. The municipality prohibits walking across the adjacent dam, so follow current local signs and stay in permitted areas.
