Pusula Church is a wooden parish church in the Pusula village of Lohja, Finland, designed by the renowned architect Carl Ludvig Engel and built by master builder Henrik Andsten, completed in 1838. Shortly after completion, the structure suffered significant structural problems—its walls proved unable to support the weight of the roof—necessitating a dramatic intervention in 1858–59 when the roof was lowered by eight meters. The altarpiece was later painted by Felix Frang in 1921, and the church's pipe organ, installed in 1936 by the Kangasala organ factory, incorporates pipes salvaged from earlier organs built by the Tallinn-based Normann factory. The building is designated a church-protected structure.
