Church Notes: "The Korppoo Church was erected probably between years 1430 and 1440. It represents the oldest church architecture in Finland. Good example of this is the stone tower, which was probably built for defensive purposes, not for belfry. When the church was renovated in 1952-1953, several overpainted medieval wall paintings were found overpainted and restored."

The present font in this church is modern, a cross-shaped monolithic block of stone with a minimalist basin carved out at the top [NB: we have no information on the font of the late-medieval church here].
