Mariehamn church

Saint George’s Church in Mariehamn stands out as the only Åland mother church without a medieval past. Nestled at the intersection of the Northern and Western Esplanades, it intriguingly faces north, deviating from the usual liturgical orientation. This unique positioning adds a touch of modern charm to its historical significance, making it an interesting stop for those exploring the area.

Mariehamn itself is a delightful town, offering a blend of quaint streets and maritime history. Just a short walk from the church, you'll find the Åland Maritime Museum, which offers fascinating insights into the region's seafaring past. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply enjoy picturesque surroundings, Saint George’s Church and the surrounding area provide a refreshing glimpse into Åland's cultural tapestry.
