St. Bridget's Church (Finnish: Pyhän Birgitan kirkko, Swedish: Sankta Birgitta kyrka) was a medieval stone church located in the Finnish municipality of Vihti in the Uusimaa region. Built, according to some estimates, between 1500 and 1520, the church now lies in ruins. It served as the main church of the Vihti parish, with Bridget of Sweden as its patron saint.[1][2]
