Sibbo Old Church, Medieval stone church in Sipoo, Finland
Description
Sibbo Old Church is a medieval stone church in Sipoo, Finland, featuring robust stone walls and vaults from the period. The interior walls display paintings from the 15th century created using earth pigments and charcoal, which remain visible on the surfaces.
History
The church was constructed in the 1450s under the direction of the Master of Pernå and represents a distinct regional approach to medieval church design. This architectural style set it apart from more common building patterns seen elsewhere in Finland during that era.
Culture
The church displays a preserved pillory and stocks from the 17th and 18th centuries that visitors can observe today. These objects tell the story of how punishment and public shame worked in past times.
Practical
The church is located at Brobölentie 68 and welcomes visitors during summer months when regular opening times apply. As it serves as an active place for worship and ceremonies, visitors should check if religious events may affect access.
Did you know?
The altar section has an unusual three-part layout, while the rest of the building follows the traditional two-part arrangement. This architectural quirk makes the interior layout immediately noticeable to first-time visitors.
