Nousiainen Church

The stone church features a fieldstone construction with thick walls and stands at an elevation of 22 meters in the Finnish landscape.

Established around 1430, the church marked the location where Saint Henry, Finland's first bishop, was initially laid to rest before relocation to Turku Cathedral.

The church maintains its original function as a religious center under the Archdiocese of Turku, preserving centuries of Finnish ecclesiastical traditions.

Located on Pappilantie street, the church building holds protected status and remains open for religious services and heritage visits throughout the year.

Archaeological excavations near the church revealed burial grounds from the early 11th century, predating the current structure by several centuries.
