Avattu vuonna 1520, kuten Google sanoo. Upea keskiaikainen kivikirkko.

Upea kirkko, muistakaa kunnioittaa vainajia kun kävelette hautausmaalla. Sijainti todella hieno.

Muodostan tämänhetkisen näkemykseni ihan ulkopuolen perusteella. Jälleen kerran kaunis, keskiaikainen kivikirkko, joka tietojen mukaan on viimeinen Hämeeseen rakennettu keskiaikainen kivikirkko. Kirkko on valmistunut 1520, ja rakennuttajana pidetään Åke Tottia. Kirkkoa on laajennettu ristikirkoksi 1800-luvulla. Kellotapuli on valmistunut 1785. Kirkon hautausmaalla on useiden aatelissukujen hautapaikkoja.

Historic Site of the week

Bamberg Historic City Centre

Bamberg is located in Upper Franconia on the river Regnitz close to its confluence with the river Main. Its historic city center is a listed UNESCO world heritage site.

Bamberg is a good example of a central European town with a basically early medieval plan and many surviving ecclesiastical and secular buildings of the medieval period. When Henry II, Duke of Bavaria, became King of Germany in 1007 he made Bamberg the seat of a bishopric, intended to become a 'second Rome'. Of particular interest is the way in which the present town illustrates the link between agriculture (market gardens and vineyards) and the urban distribution centre.

From the 10th century onwards, Bamberg became an important link with the Slav peoples, especially those of Poland and Pomerania. During its period of greatest prosperity, from the 12th century onwards, the architecture of this town strongly influenced northern Germany and Hungary. In the late 18th century Bamberg was the centre of the Enlightenment in southern Germany, with eminent philosophers and writers such as Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and E.T.A. Hoffmann living there.

Bamberg extends over seven hills, each crowned by a beautiful church. This has led to Bamberg being called the 'Franconian Rome'.
