Eckerö Church, Medieval church in Kyrkby, Finland.
The Eckerö Church stands at 7 meters elevation, constructed from red rapakivi granite with a west tower featuring a pyramidal hood covered in tarred shingles.
The original stone structure dates from the late 13th century, while the west tower was added in 1467, making it one of Finland's oldest remaining wooden structures.
The church interior contains artifacts from the 14th century, including a wooden Madonna and a crucifix that represent medieval Finnish religious artistry.
Located near the main road connecting Mariehamn and Eckerö, the church maintains regular services and opens its doors for community gatherings throughout the year.
The east gable displays a grill-shaped decoration commemorating Saint Lawrence, who was martyred by grilling in 258 AD outside Rome.
