About this site
Stone church, medieval. The architecture of Lempäälä stone church, dedicated to Saint Birgitta and from the late Middle Ages, exhibits features of both the Satakunta and the Häme church types. The eastern gable has stepped brick decoration and the western gable a stepped round-arch frieze and a triple-lobed niche. The single-nave church has no brick vaulting. The church's current appearance dates from the 1830s extension when it was converted into a cruciform church. The church is surrounded by an old churchyard bordered by a stone wall. The separate bell tower dates from 1787 (M. Lajander).
