Kuusisto Church, Protected church building in Kaarina, Finland.

The stone church rises 15 meters above sea level on Kuusisto Island, with its prominent position marking the landscape of the Kaarina municipality.

The church stands near the location of a former medieval bishop's castle that was demolished in 1523 by order of King Gustav Vasa during the Reformation.

The church forms an essential part of the Kuusiston kirkkomaisema, maintaining both Finnish and Swedish heritage as reflected in its dual naming traditions.
