Upea keskiaikainen kirkko

Komea vanha rakennus kannattaa nähdä.

Kaunis ja monta aikaa kokenut kirkko. Seinämaalaukset ovat pysäyttävät. Hyvä akustiikka, tyhjänä melko pitkä kaiku. Viileää kesälläkin! Kannattaa tutustua myös kirkon historiaan. Se toimii kesäisin myös tiekirkkona, josta varmasti löydät viilennystä hengellesi matkasi varrella.

Suomen historian vaikuttavimpia kirkkoja,. Ehdottomasti tutustuminen arvoinen. Paanukattoisten kirkkojen aatelia.

Historiallinen ja kaunis kirkko, johon kannattaa ehdottomasti tutustua.
