Koroinen Church

Koroinen was the residence of Bishop of Finland between years 1229 and 1300. in 1300 the bishop seat was moved couple of kilometres further down the River Aura, to the present-day Cathedral of Turku. There were at least two wooden churches in Koroinen built in the 14th century. The latest one was probably a stone church. It was later destroyed by the Victual Brothers in 1396.

Archaeologists have found remains of three wall grounds, which were probably part of the church. Today there are a white, wooden memorial cross and some stone foundations still remaining on site. The landscape of the site is anyway unique in Finland. You can see three medieval church from there: The Turku Cathedral, St Mary's Church and St. Catherine's Church.
