Karjaa Church, or St Catherine's Church, is a medieval stone church probably built around 1465-1470. The church tower, with its medieval stone base, is a more recent construction, dating from 1768. The church has a stained glass window painted by the artist Gunnar Forsström.
The church of Pohja was built between 1460 and 1480. The church contains wooden carvings from the 13th century, its stone walls are from the 15th century, its pews from the 18th century, its organ from the 20th century and the new altar is from the 21st 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. According to Markus Hiekkanen, the first phase dates from the 1430s at the earliest, the second phase perhaps from the second half of the 15th century, and the last phase probably from the 1510s. 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.
The church of Tenala is a stone church built between 1460 and 1480. The building was completely restored in 1984-1986. The furniture includes a wooden sculpture of St. Olaf from the 14th century, a mechanical organ from 1887 and the pulpit from 1655. The old pulpit support, in the form of a giant, is preserved in the church.
