The altarpiece, the ascension of Jesus, is from 1832 and painted by C. Elfström. The late Baroque furrows built by Martti Porthan in 1993 are 30-fold. They are the third organ of the Church. In the repair of the 1990s, the church benches were designed to be more comfortable to sit on, although they are otherwise original. The front seats are now portable as well as the altar bracket, making it easier to organize music and choir events in the church. The benchmark has been cut, the church was originally occupied by the then Nurmijärvi settlement population, about one thousand people.

After the rocky outcrop, the water falls down in three large stumps, then bubbling through the woods into a rural landscape filled with fields. The field before the Loppi Road undercut by the rapids is the former drained Lake Kuhajärvi.Kuhakoski's waterfalls has played an important part in the history of Nurmijärvi, as the rapids were once the most important mill rapids in the area.
