St. Olaf's Church in Tyrvää

The stone church rises 63 meters above ground level, featuring medieval architectural elements and structural design characteristics of northern European religious buildings.

Built in 1505, St. Olaf's Church served the local community through different administrative changes, from Tyrvää to Vammala and finally Sastamala in 2008.

The church maintains its position as a protected religious monument within Finland, representing centuries of local spiritual practices and community gatherings.

Visitors can find the church in the Kalliala area, where regular services and guided tours provide information about the building's architecture and history.

The building forms part of Tyrvään vanhan kirkon maisema, a designated landscape area that preserves the historical setting of this medieval structure.
