Lovely church that is more middle ages Anglo Saxon than typical finnish countryside church. We were lucky enough that the massive historical organ was being played as we visited... quite magical.

Really nice contemporary shows with well-written stories about the kovan history, starting from the ice age until 1900s. Able to see both the local history, and how people lived and survived. Recommend!
