CHURCHES

	*Björkö village church* Björkö village church was built in 1859 and was named Maria, after the wife of Alexander II. The gallery was built in 1907, and the first organ was purchased a couple of years later. Before the village had its own church, the bible study cottage was used as a chapel.

	*Replot church* The Gustav Adolf Church in Replot village was built in 1781 and stands on the hill called Skieppskatts-backen. The church was built as a so called long church with a steep roof. In the 1840s, the church received its altar construction and pulpit from the Sankta Maria church in Old Vasa, and so were saved from the great fire of 1852.
