The Hauho Society's Museum of Objects is next to the church on the side of Skytte Square in Hauho. The museum was opened at Midsummer 1950. The most valuable part is a small chapel constructed in the upper section, which holds the Catholic-period figurines of saints removed from the church as well as frescoes, painted in 1772 by the local folk artist and conscript Korler, which depict biblical events and the religious views of a simple man of the people. The church's old chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and in the corner the serpent of Eden still lurks, offering an apple.
