St Lawrence's Church, Eckerö
St Lawrence's Church, located in Eckerö on the Åland Islands, is a medieval Lutheran stone church. The church represents a significant example of medieval ecclesiastical architecture in the Baltic region. Constructed from grey stone between 1380 and 1420, according to the most recent datings, the church was originally dedicated to Saint Lawrence during the Catholic period of Finland. The building features a rectangular nave oriented along an east–west axis, with a sacristy positioned to the north and a porch to the south. At the western end of the nave stands a substantial bell tower, its width matching that of the nave; notably, one of the bells has been dated to the 13th century, predating the current structure.
