Pyhajoki

The landscape around Pyhäjoki is a low coastal plain cut by the Pyhäjoki River beside the Gulf of Bothnia, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. The municipality centres on the river’s mouth, where the waterway meets Finland’s western seaboard; farming, fishing and coastal connections have long mattered here. Pyhäjoki’s wooden church, completed in 1756, remains a focal point of the parish. On the coast, the Hanhikivi headland is known for its namesake glacial erratic, long used as a boundary stone.
