The church stands by the small stream of Raumanjoki (Rauma river).

[1] The monastery had been established in the early 15th century and a wooden church was built on this location around the year 1420.

[1] The Church of the Holy Cross served the monastery until 1538, when it was abandoned for a hundred years as the Franciscan friary was disbanded in the Swedish Reformation.

The choir features fresco-secco style murals depicting the Biblical story of salvation.
