This is a power plant. It uses recycled wood from the forest to heat up water for the center of Loviisa.

After the Lovisa fire in 1855 this area was rebuilt in accordance with a new town plan. Included in the town plan of 1857 were the park streets that had both a fire brake and architectural function. The church avenue is one of the most visible elements in the centre of Lovisa. A park that is approximately 50 metres wide stretches half a kilometre eastward from the church.

This is the library in the center of Lovisa, before it was known as the Socis but originally it was a hotel combined with a restaurant and a ballroom. It was designed by Georg Chiewitz in 1863.

The Kappeli square used to be a horse field (the generals field) adjacent to the Commendants house. The pond in the southern part of the park is a remnant from the digging done to build Bastion Carl in the middle of the 18th century. The building is nowadays a summer restaurant, but has been closed for a while now. They are planning to open the restaurant again, but first the building has to be renovated.

The buildings which take up the entire small town block and represent a classicistic town building from the end of the 18th century, has been built in at least 3 phases. The southern section in 1776, the middle section in 1816 and the northern single storey section in the 1920's. The house received its name from the massive supporting logs (that were covered by weather boards) on the outer walls and corner constructions, which form pilasters.
