The Ingedal church is a small medieval stone church. Originally, the choir was narrower and lower than the nave, but it was later enlarged across its entire width, probably around 1730. The present porch probably dates from the end of the 19th century.

The Inkoo Church, dedicated to St. Nicholas, was built in three phases, the most recent of which is the origin of the present building.

The bell tower was built next to the church in 1739-1740. The church contains the only surviving mural painting of "Dancing Macabre" in Finland.
