Tammela Church

Tammela Church is a stone church probably built in the second half of the 1530s or in the 1540s. The grey stone church is externally well preserved and has a historical value. The church is 54 metres long, and the church corridor is the second-longest in Finland (the longest is in Turku Cathedral). The church took its present form mainly as a result of two construction phases. Construction work on the church began at the beginning of the 16th century. An extension to the church was built in the 18th century and completed in 1785.

Somero's Sacristy

Somero's sacristy is a medieval stone sacristy, probably built in the late 1490s. The stone sanctuary is located in the current Somero cemetery, in its old part, in the old Somero cemetery, where the ruins of the bell tower built in 1774 have also been preserved. The present church of Somero was built between 1853 and 1859 on a hill to the south of the old cemetery. When the new church was completed, the wooden church of Somero, built in 1668, was demolished in 1864.
