Kastelli Giant's Church

The stone structure measures 60 by 35 meters with seven-meter-wide walls reaching up to two meters in height, featuring six distinct gateway entrances.

Built between 3000 and 2000 BC during the Sub Neolithic period, this formation originally stood on the seashore before geological uplift moved it inland.

The builders belonged to the Pöljä ceramic culture, constructing this massive stone enclosure as one of forty similar structures in the Ostrobothnia region.

Visitors can find the site by following signs for Linnanraunio from Linnalantie 74, with a dedicated parking area located near the entrance path.

The structure contains over thirty additional pits and stone formations in its vicinity, with six locations showing evidence of extended human occupation.
