Ruins of Koroinen Church, Archaeological site in Koroinen, Finland.

The stone foundations reveal a medieval church measuring 27.5 meters in length and 14.5 meters in width, with a narrower stone choir section.

Pope Gregory IX directed the relocation of the bishop's see from Nousiainen to Koroinen in 1229, making it Finland's central ecclesiastical center.

The site contains three brick graves within the church structure that mark the final resting places of prominent Finnish bishops from medieval times.

Metsähallitus manages the archaeological site, which features informational panels and maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout the designated pathways.

Excavations uncovered approximately 300 coins from the 1220s to 1390s, providing exact dating evidence for the church's active period.
