Saint Catherine's Church in Turku

Saint Catherine's Church features stone walls, reaching an elevation of 24 meters and incorporating architectural elements characteristic of medieval Finnish religious structures.

The construction of the church started in the 1340s, with the sacristy completed first, leading to its consecration by Bishop Hemming and Bishop Thomas in 1351.

The church serves as a Cultural Heritage Site of National Significance, reflecting the traditional stone church building methods prevalent in medieval Finland.

Visitors can find Saint Catherine's Church at Kirkkotie 46 in Turku, where regular worship services and community events take place throughout the year.

The church building changed its name in 1991 after the Nummi area became part of Turku, previously known as Kaarina Church when located in the Kaarina region.
