The Church of Askainen
The neoclassical Askainen church was built by the owner of Louhisaari Manor, Governor-general Herman Claes’son Fleming in 1653 as the chapel church of Louhisaari Manor. Later on, Louhisaari was long owned by the Mannerheim family, and Marshal Carl Gustav Mannerheim was born there. There is a funeral chapel of the Mannerheim family in the cemetery.
The Askainen noblemen’s church is part of the oldest tourist route in Finland, the Seven Churches Tour, together with Raisio, Masku, Nousiainen, Lemu, Merimasku and Naantali.
