Sauvo Church

The Karuna church was built in 1908-1910 with Karuna's gray granite. The architectural style is national romanticism. The building is often venerated as one of the most beautiful national romantic churches of Finland.

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.

The church of Halikko was first mentioned in 1352, at a time when it was probably a wooden church. The present stone structure was probably built between 1460 and 1475. Following the Reformation, the walls of the Halikko church, covered with medieval paintings, were whitewashed. At the turn of the 18th century, the church was already in poor condition and cramped. It was therefore enlarged in 1799, and then more significantly between 1813 and 1815. The medieval stone church was transformed into a neoclassical church of the 19th century. In the middle of the 19th century, the paintings were restored by the painter Fredrik Ellmen.
