The Askainen Church is a stone church from the 17th-century era of the Swedish Great Power in the present-day municipality of Masku. Next to the church is a separate belfry dating from 1779. The exact age of the church is not known, but it was built on the site of an earlier wooden church, and its present appearance dates from the 1653 renovation commissioned by Governor-General Herman Klaunpoika Fleming. Fleming was the owner of Louhisaari Manor, and the church was built as the manor’s chapel church. Read more.
