Uskela Church

The stone church features a single nave layout and stands at an elevation of 54 meters above sea level in the Uskela district.

The current building, completed in 1832, replaced an earlier parish church from 1440 and represents the architectural work of Carl Ludvig Engel.

This Empire style church structure stands as a central element of the Uskelan kirkonmäki area, representing Finnish ecclesiastical architecture from the 19th century.

The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors at Sairaalantie 7 in Salo, functioning as the main religious gathering place for the community.

The building holds protected status and marks the location of the oldest parish in eastern Finland Proper, established during the 13th century.
