Pernaja
Pernaja is a small rural municipality on the coast east of Porvoo, notable mainly for its well-preserved medieval stone church (dating to the 15th century) and a scattering of old manor houses and villages that give a sense of the historic Swedish-speaking coastal countryside of this part of Finland. It's a quiet, low-key area to drive through rather than a destination with a concentrated set of sights, appealing to those interested in rural church architecture or simply the coastal countryside between Porvoo and Loviisa.
