History

Nummi was part of Lohja parish and had its own churchyard already in the 17th century. In 1822 a new stone church, representing neoclassical style, was built by the lake Pitkäjärvi. Nummi left Lohja in 1843 and became an independent municipality. The Finnish Heritage Agency has recorded over 117 found relics from Nummi and Pusula area. Most of these items are from Stone Age. Nummi village center and the church area together are a nationally valuable built environment which is protected by law. [3]
