Church of the Holy Cross

The Church of the Holy Cross was probably completed between 1515 and 1520 and was originally built as the church of the Franciscan convent in Rauma. The Church of the Holy Cross served as a Franciscan church until 1538 when the monastery was abolished with the Reformation. The paintings in the church date back to the 16th century. The church tower was built in 1816 with stones from the ruins of the former Church of the Holy Trinity. The whitewashed tower was once used as a landmark by sailors. The top of the tower, destroyed by fire, was rebuilt in 1968 from non-combustible materials.
