Explore Religious Heritage Across Europe

A masterpiece of Romanesque art from the 12th century, this former Benedictine abbey was an active and recognised religious centre. The ensemble that remains of it offers admirable capitals where biblical representations stand next to monsters from the depths of time or from the far east. From the top of its bell tower, there is an impressive view of the village and the landscape. The visit of the monument ends with the discovery of the lapidary museum which presents a collection of sculpted stones (capitals, modillions, keystones) found during the restoration campaigns.

The church of Sauvo is a medieval greystone church built in its present form mainly between 1460 and 1472. The first written mention of Sauvo Church is in the Turku Cathedral registers since 1346. However, there was a church in Sauvo long before that. There are wooden churches on the site of the present stone church, the first of which may have been built in the early 13th century.

The Savilahti stone sacristy, dating from the 16th century, was once part of the now defunct Savilahti parish church. In 1930, the town council granted funds to the museum association to transform the stone sacristy into a museum on the theme of the church. The museum opened its doors the following year.

The monastery of Savina consists of three churches: the small church of the Assumption, the large church of the Assumption and the church of St. Sava, from which the monastery takes its name. Although the monastery dates back to the 15th century, when it was founded by Duke Stefan Vukčić Kosača, it is probable that the small church of the Assumption existed as early as the 11th century. It is also said that the Church of St. Sava predates the monastery, having been built by the saint himself in the 13th century. The large Assumption Church was built later, between 1777 and 1799, and was built by the master Nikola Foretić.

Savinac Monastery is a ruined building in the suburban settlement of Stari Ledinci.

The Cathedral of Savona is in fact an abbey church, elevated to the rank of cathedral by Pope Paul IV in 1559, following the destruction of the old cathedral (9th century) by Genoese troops. In 1584, construction of the present building began on the former church of the Convent of St. Francis and was completed in 1605.

Savonlinna Cathedral was built between 1874 and 1878, designed in the Gothic Revival style by the architect Axel Hampus Dalström. The masons came from St. Petersburg and the carpenters from Vyborg. During the Winter War, on 1 March 1940, the town of Savonlinna was bombed and the church was severely destroyed. The church was rebuilt between 1947 and 1948 according to the plans of the architect Bertel Liljequist and was consecrated again in 1949. Today it is part of the Mikkeli diocese. It was the cathedral of the former diocese of Savonlinna from 1897 to 1925 and has retained the name of the cathedral.

Sázava Monastery was founded in the 11th century by St. Procopius. In the 11th century, the monastery was the centre of the ancient Slavic liturgy, but already in 1096, the monks of Sázava Monastery were definitively expelled and their books were destroyed. The monastery was then definitively handed over to the Benedictines from Břevnov and only the Latin liturgy continued to be practised there. At the beginning of the 14th century, a new church and monastery in Gothic style were built under Abbot Matthias. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the church and monastery buildings were rebuilt in the Baroque style. The monastery was abolished in 1785, the church became a parish and the monastery buildings were transformed into a castle. The monastery was nationalised in 1951. In 2013, the monastery was returned to the Roman Catholic Church.

Scalloway Church was built in 1840-41. It is a square, two-storey building with a gable roof and a bell tower above the entrance porch. The organ is one of only four surviving pipe organs in Shetland. It is believed to have been built by Andrew Watt of Glasgow in 1903.

There has been a chapel on this site since 1835.
