Huittinen Church, Medieval stone church in Lauttakylä, Finland.
The stone church stands at an elevation of 57 meters on Karsatinmäki hill, featuring a rectangular structure with entrances on western and southern sides.
The church location was selected according to a 1229 papal directive instructing the construction of Christian places of worship on former pagan sacrificial sites.
Until 1794, the church floor served as a burial place for priests and notable community members, including linguist researcher Nils Idman the Younger.
The church opens from June 2nd with guides present on weekdays and Sundays between 11 am and 5 pm, remaining closed on Saturdays with free admission.
The site connects to ancient Finnish religious practices, as the name Karsatinmäki indicates its prior function as a pagan ceremonial ground.
