Karuna Church, Stone church in Sauvo, Finland

Located in Southwest Finland, Karuna Church features a bell tower in the southeast corner containing bells manufactured in 1689.

Finnish architect Josef Stenbäck designed this stone structure, which was constructed between 1908 and 1910 in the National Romantic style.

The interior of Karuna Church displays altar paintings created by artist Ilmari Launis and provides seating for 480 people.

The church maintains its position as an active religious center and serves as a venue for summer concerts and wedding ceremonies.

The previous wooden church from this location was transferred to the Seurasaari open-air museum in Helsinki, where it stands as the oldest building.
