The Church of the Holy Cross is a medieval stone church probably built between 1425 and 1440. The church has been fairly well preserved in its medieval appearance. The first church of the parish was most probably built of wood as early as the 13th century. The walls of the present church are decorated with paintings, the oldest of which were made after the completion of the church.
Vehmaa Church is a medieval stone church probably built between 1425 and 1440. The Vehmaa Church and the rectory on the west side of the church are listed monuments.
The church of Lemu is a medieval stone church dedicated to St. Olaf. It was probably built between 1460 and 1480. The present neoclassical wooden bell tower of the church, dating from 1812, is located on the north-eastern side of the church. The old bell tower, built in the 1570s, had fallen into ruin at the turn of the 18th century when plans for the present bell tower began to be drawn up. Next to the Lemu church is the homeland museum called Kemppien tupa. The museum is housed in a former parish warehouse built in 1858.
Mynämäki Church, originally called St. Laurus Catholic Church, is the second-largest medieval stone church in Finland. The church's sacristy is the oldest part of the building and some date its construction to the 13th century, while others date it from 1425 to 1440.
