Karja - Katariina kirik

Karja - Katariina kirik
Karja's St. Catherine's Church is located in the area of the neighbouring village of Linnaka.

Around 1254, there was already a wooden church on the site. It was destroyed in 1343. The present church was built in the Gothic style between 1340 and 1350, probably by a French-influenced master from the Swedish island of Gotland. The hall church built by him has a single nave. The church has been preserved almost unchanged in its original form.

The vaulted sacristy used to serve as a refuge. Above it is a room with a fireplace, which probably housed pilgrims.

Nice perspective of this ancient church and its discrete reflection!
