About Nousiainen
The bishop seat of Finland is believed to have been here until 1229 or 1249, when it was moved to Turku. According to legend, the first bishop, Finland's national saint, Saint Henry, was buried here in 1156. The municipality stretches a long way inland, to Kuhankuono inKurjenrahka National Park, 20 km from the parish village. The village of Valpperi is halfway, connected to the centre by the small river Hirvijoki and Valpperintie along it. The south-west part, near the centre and Highway 8, is largely covered by fields, with minor woods, as is most of the area around Hirvijoki, while north-east of Valpperi, forest dominates. Rantapiha by Savojärvi, a municipal recreational area in the village of Saksala, serves park visitors.
