4.0Naantali Church(63 reviews) - Very beautiful and peaceful Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals
As we walked the path from the Naantali Spa and Resort we started to see the church peak through the tree branches. I'm thankful our visit was in the spring before the tree leaves bloomed because it made for some beautiful photography of the church. It was so peaceful that we spent at least an hour wandering around the church and cemetery taking some great photographs and enjoying the atmosphere. The church wasn't open the first day we were there so we made a point of coming back when it was open. I wish we could have heard the pipe organ play but at least we got to see it. The inside is huge for a large congregation and absolutely breathtaking. See more..

4.5Nagu Church(25 reviews) - A medieval church with a rare 18th century organ Points of Interest & Landmarks • Churches & Cathedrals
Nagu church is a beautiful medieval, gothic style stone church, the building of which dates back to the early 15th century. The church has been dedicated to St Olaf, a 10th century Norwegian king who became the most popular saint in the Nordic countries in the middle ages. Originally this was a Catholic church but since reformation it has been the church of the Evangelican-Lutheran congregation of Nagu. Nagu church has the largest and the only restorated 18th century organ in Finland. Other things to pay attention to are the painting by the first professional Finnish artist, R. W. Ekman, in the small chapel on the west side of the church, the glass paintings of saints Olaf and Erik and the primitive paintings in the ceiling. Nagu church is located in the centre of the Nagu village, right beside the Archipelago Ringroute and just about 400 meters from the Nagu guest harbour, so it is convenient to reach by car, bike, bus or boat. There is plenty of parking space beside the church.See more..
4.5Uusikaupunki Old Church(16 reviews) - Impressive 17th century church with a striking interior Churches & Cathedrals
A must visit for anyone in Uusikaupunki: these kinds of churhes are few in Finland. Within the church one can examine the ceiling built in the shape of an upside down hull of a boat, floor full of old tombstones marked with skulls and hour glasses, various paintings, and votive ships. Note also the memorial for the fallen in the second world war outside the church. There's a Charon figured statue attending to the graves by Finnish sculptor Aimo Tukiainen.See more..

3.0Uusikaupunki Church(2 reviews) - A small, nice church at the city centre Churches & Cathedrals
The Uusikaupunki church represents a typical Finnish, gothic-inspired church architecture of the time. The church is on a hill overlooking the market square and surrounded by a small, green park. You will see the church, and particularly the spire, from a distance. The spire was build so tall, that it would be seen already from the sea. If you have the time, walk up to the church and also take a look inside.See more..

The picturesque wooden church of S:t Maria, built in 1703, is home to the parish of Houtskar.

5.0Perniö Church(1 review) - Keskiaikainen 1400-mulla rakennettu kivikirkko Spent 1-2 hours Churches & Cathedrals Upea ja erittäin vanha kivikirkko. Rakennettu keskiajalla 1400-luvulla. Useita esineitä myös 1300-luvulta. Sankarihautojen luota löytyy koskettava enkelipatsas.See more..
Hieno puukirkko, erityismaininta vanhoille laivojen pienoismalleille, joita kiitolliset merimiehet ovat lahjoittaneet kiitokseksi taas kerran kotiin selvittyään vaaralliselta matkaltaan. Kannattaa piipahtaa myös kauniilla hautausmaalla.See more..
