Liljendal
Liljendal is a former municipality of Finland.
It is located in the province of Southern Finland and was part of the Eastern Uusimaa region. The municipality had a population of 1,472 (31 December 2009) and covered an area of 119.64 square kilometres (46.19 sq mi) of which 5.97 km2 (2.31 sq mi) is water. The population density was 12.95 inhabitants per square kilometre (33.5/sq mi).
The municipality was bilingual, with majority (74.9%) being Swedish and minority (23.8%) Finnish speakers. The municipality has previously also been known as Liljentaali in Finnish documents.
Liljendal was consolidated to Loviisa, together with Pernå and Ruotsinpyhtää, on January 1, 2010.
Liljendal was originally the name of a seat farm (säteri) in the village of Sävträsk. Its name may have been derived from that of an old Cistercian monastery in Lower Saxony, Lilienthal. At the time, it was a part of the Pernå (Pernaja) parish. The name got its current meaning when the seat farm and nine villages near it became their own chapel community in 1791. Liljendal became a separate parish in 1914.
