Vehmaa Church

The granite church structure stands at 26 meters above sea level with thick stone walls and high vaulted ceilings reflecting Finnish architectural traditions.

Construction of the church took place between 1425 and 1440, making it one of the oldest remaining religious structures in Western Finland.

The interior features a 17th-century pulpit and 1840s furnishings that demonstrate the evolution of Finnish religious architectural elements over centuries.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors, with guided tours available through the parish office located in the adjacent presbytery building.

Red Balmoral granite from local quarries forms the foundation of this religious building, connecting it directly to the region's geological heritage.
