Luhtaanmäki rises from the Valley of River Vantaa in a sparsely populated rural area. The beautiful profile of Luhtaanmäki with its old buildings is drawn in the middle of a riverbed and rolling fields. There are still several buildings of cultural and historical value in Luhtaanmäki, such as the exceptionally large military office of Grips from the 1860s.[2][3] An old and handsome arched stone bridge, which is no longer used in road traffic, crosses the river called Luhtaanmäenjoki[4] between Luhtaanmäki and Keimola. The protected cultural landscape of the River Vantaa is partly located in the Luhtaanmäki district, where Luhtaanmäenjoki joins the main riverbank of River Vantaa.
