Karuna Church

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 church of Pargas is a medieval stone church dating from the mid 15th century. The original plan is typical of medieval Finnish stone churches, but it has been modified by several additions. The sacristy and the church porch, which are contiguous on the long south side, were built at the end of the 15th century. Originally a bell tower was to be built on the west side, but it remained unfinished, so that the church in Pargas, like many medieval Finnish churches, does not have a bell tower, but a free-standing tower.

The church of Kemiö, or St. Andrew's Church, is first mentioned in 1445. The church was designed by the same master builder who was responsible for the churches in Perniö, Sauvo and Tenhola. The stone church dedicated to St. Andrew was probably completed in 1469. Its bell tower dates from the post-fire period, 1786-1788, when the former belfry was converted into a mortuary. Between 1920 and 1922, the church was renovated.
