Uskelan emäkirkko, Medieval church ruins in Salo, Finland

The wooden cross church stands near the Uskelanjoki River bank, featuring a bell tower and cemetery within its archaeological grounds.

Built in 1749 under architect Mats Sipilä's direction, the church faced destruction in 1825 due to a land collapse along the river bank.

The site reveals multiple church foundations dating back to 1210, indicating continuous religious presence through different construction phases at this location.

The archaeological site maintains its original bell tower and cemetery, offering visitors physical evidence of medieval Finnish church architecture.

Foundation stones from the demolished church found new purpose as building materials in the construction of Pertteli's grain storage facility.
