Church Builders’ Museum
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 museum building dates from 1779, but was altered by Taavetti Rahikainen in the 1840s
