The Tuusula Church Village (fi|Tuusulan kirkonkylä, sv|Tusby kyrkoby) is a rural village of the Tuusula municipality in Uusimaa, Finland.

Description

The earliest mentions of the settlement of the church village date back to 1543, when there were no less than ten houses in the village.[1] Tuusula's first church was built in the church village in 1643, just 11 years before an independent parish was founded in Tuusula.[2]

The village is known as the historical parish centre of the municipality before a new municipal centre was moved into the Hyrylä. The church village is home to, among other things, the Tuusula Church built in 1734, the village's primary school, and the Krapi Farm, which is now used as accommodation.[3]
