St. Henry's Chapel

According to legends, St. Henry spent his last night at the granary, before he was allegedly murdered by peasant Lalli on 20 January 1156.

The small wooden building was later converted to a chapel which was the final destination of pilgrimage route Saint Henry's Way.

Since all of the logs were not analyzed and most of the original may have been replaced due to decomposition, it is still possible the building dates back to 12th century.

The octagon-shaped brick chapel was built in 1850s by the drawings of architect Pehr Johan Gylich and the wooden building was placed inside.

The chapel's surroundings are the assumed location of Iron Age town Teljä and the site of Medieval village Ylistaro, which was destroyed by fire in the 1830s.
