Amestestiä

Amestestiä is a village located in the municipality of Loviisa in the Uusimaa region of Southern Finland. Historically, Amestestiä was part of the Pernaja municipality before its merger with Loviisa in 2010. The village is situated in a rural setting, characterized by agricultural landscapes and sparsely populated areas. Its geographical location places it within the coastal region of the Gulf of Finland.

The origins of the name Amestestiä are likely tied to the historical Swedish influence in the region, though the exact etymology is not widely documented. Like many Finnish villages, its development was historically linked to farming and local resources. Over time, the population has remained relatively small, with the primary economic activities centered around agriculture and some small-scale businesses.
