The church was designed by a German builder named Master of Pernå, who designed all the medieval churches in eastern Uusimaa. The bell tower of the church of Pernå was built in 1853. The stained glass windows in the church date from 1939 and were designed by Lennart Segerstråle.

The church became a cathedral in 1723 when the diocese of Vyborg was transferred to Porvoo.
