Finström Church

The church structure stands at 12 meters elevation, constructed from local red granite with four large windows facing south and a high chancel window.

Built in the late 13th century, the church underwent substantial improvements during the 1440s to 1467, as confirmed by dendrochronological analysis.

The interior contains early medieval wooden sculptures and detailed wall paintings that reflect artistic influences from the regional Catholic period.

Visitors can reach the church by following Road 2 north from Mariehamn to Godby, then taking Road 4 toward Geta until the Pålsböle exit.

The structure features an unusual masonry pattern of two layers of large stones alternating with smaller horizontal granite blocks instead of a traditional step-like base.
