Ruins of a church probably built around 1500. During the Reformation the interior of the church was renovated. Since the church was built on sandy soil, the foundations began to crumble in the mid-18th century and cracks began to appear more frequently. The church was abandoned after the new church in Pälkäne was built in 1839. In 1873 the skulls of 55 people buried there were taken to Stockholm for research purposes. During the current excavations on the church grounds, further skeletons were discovered.
