Church Builders’ Museum
Owned by the Savitaipale Regional History Association, the Church Builders’ Museum was founded in 1989. The museum is housed in the bell tower standing next to the church of Savitaipale.
The museum is dedicated to the work of the famous church builders from Savitaipale, Juhana and Matti Salonen, and Taavetti Rahikainen; they are best known today as builders of churches incorporating a double cruciform design (kahtamoinen).
The Church Builders’ Museum is a specialised museum, dedicated in its entirety to the masterful feats of the master builders of their era.
