History
Kirkkonummi is a municipality in southern Finland. The municipality is located just outside the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, bordering the city of Espoo in the east.

Kirkkonummi has been populated from the Stone Age to the present day as evidenced by the very first Stone Age rock paintings found in Finland that are located by lake Vitträsk in the central lake region of Kirkkonummi. The southern half of the municipality was leased to the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1956 for use as a naval base as part of the peace settlement that ended the hostilities between the Soviet Union and Finland during World War II. The Swedish name is Kyrkslätt.
