Church of the Holy Cross, Medieval parish church in Old Rauma, Finland.
The Church of the Holy Cross features grey granite walls with two aisles and contains medieval paintings depicting biblical stories of salvation.
Built between 1515 and 1520, the structure initially served as a Franciscan monastery church before becoming a Lutheran parish church after the Swedish Reformation.
The medieval frescoes within the church walls were painted during Bishop Arvid Kurck's leadership of the Turku diocese from 1510 to 1522.
Located at Luostarinkatu 1, the church maintains regular visiting hours and offers seating for 800 people during religious services and community events.
The white clock tower, constructed in 1816 using stones from the former Church of the Holy Trinity, functions as a navigation point for maritime traffic.
