History

It was a Romanesque three-nave church built in the 13th century. Later it was reconstructed in Gothic style. Its late Gothic winged altars were made by Master M.S. from Korpona between 1500 and 1520.

The arch of the main nave collapsed in the great fire on June 5, 1676, and the church was in ruins until 1699. The church was reconstructed in Baroque style in 1705.

The chapel opening from the southern side nave dates back to 1415. it was originally dedicated to Virgin Mary, but in 1710 it was rededicated to St. Barbara.
