Saint Olaf's Church in Tyrvää is really a beautiful piece of medieval church architecture. And it's set in a beautiful scenery. Definitely worth a detour if you're in these parts of Finland.

Terrific place! If you are in Sastamalan and don't have a car, be prepared for part of the way walking on a roadside, but it seems to be quite safe.

Amazing old church at a scenic spot. Very interesting renovation and interior decorations.
