Vyborg's Old Cathedral

The Virolahti sacristy is a medieval stone sacristy that was built between 1500 and 1530 next to the wooden church of the time. The intention was to build an entire stone church later, but for financial and other reasons this did not materialise. The wooden church attached to the sacristy was demolished in the 17th century and replaced by a new one. This new wooden church was itself demolished in 1847 after an auction.

St. Mary's Church is first mentioned in 1396. The present stone church was probably built between 1430 and 1470 by the master of Pernå who designed, among others, the church in Pyhtää, the church in Pernå, the old church in Sipoo and the cathedral in Porvoo. The church was stolen and burned down twice during the wars in the 16th century. The decorations on the vaults and walls were damaged and other valuables were lost. The church burned again in the fire of Hamina in 1821. The Gothic building was later renovated by Carl Ludvig Engel in the Empire style and completed in 1828.

The church of Valkeala was designed by Armas Lindgren and Bertel Liljeqvist and was consecrated in 1927. The present church of Valkeala is the fourth on the site. The first church in Valkeala was completed in 1631 and the second in 1674. The third church was consecrated in 1798 and was destroyed by fire in November 1920. The octagonal wooden bell tower of the church of Valkeala dates from 1782.
