A beautiful stone church with a solitary square tower. The original church was built between approximately 1480 and 1510. Unfortunately, most of it burned down in 1929. The wooden upper part of the bell tower built in 1766 was also destroyed. After the fire, the church was rebuilt to its original medieval size according to plans by the architect Kauno S. Kallio.
