Ekenäs Church

Ekenäs Church (Swedish: Ekenäs kyrka, Finnish: Tammisaaren kirkko) is a 17th-century neoclassical stone church located in Ekenäs in the Finnish town of Raseborg. Construction began in 1651 and continued into the 1670s. The initiative to build a stone church in Ekenäs came from earl Gustaf Adolf Leijonhufvud but the designer of the original Baroque church is unknown.

Ekenäs Church was ravaged by fire in 1821 and renovated by architect Charles Bassi between 1839 and 1842. The appearance of the church we see nowadays is designed by Bassi. There are seats for 560 people in Ekenäs Church. Ekenäs Church is used by the Swedish-speaking parish of Ekenäs (Ekenäsnejdens svenska församling) which is part of Diocese of Borgå in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland.
