This medieval granite church stands on the church hill in the old part of town and is one of Finland's medieval granite churches. The parish is first mentioned in a document of 6 June 1329 in the Black Book of Turku Cathedral, though the present church is probably later. The earliest wall and vault paintings were added in 1486 by the group of Petrus Henriksson, and most of the interior furnishings date from the 1600s and 1700s. The church was last renovated in 2011.
Beside it stands the Tengström family chapel, built in 1819 for Finland's first archbishop, Jacob Tengström. The funeral chapel designed by Erik Bryggman was completed in 1930 and is considered one of Finland's most notable pre-functionalist buildings. Services are held in Swedish. The facilities include a defibrillator, a hearing loop, a play corner, and a piano and grand piano. The car park, entrance and toilet are wheelchair accessible.
