Teljä

[1] There is no archaeological evidence of Teljä; in 1960 an excavation led by professor Unto Salo found no traces of an Iron Age town but the archaeologists discovered remains of Medieval village that was later destroyed by fire.

According to Salo and an earlier historian Jalmari Jaakkola, Teljä was established in the 11th century by Swedish merchants.

River Kokemäenjoki was the waterway connecting sea to the inland lakes of Upper Satakunta, which is a part of modern-day Pirkanmaa region.

It is a brick chapel which covers a small wooden granary used by Bishop Henry in 1150s as a sermon room.

[1][3] In documents the name Teljä was first mentioned in 1650 Swedish geography description Epitome descriptionis Svecia, Gothiae, Fenningiae et subjectarum provinciarum by professor Mikael Wexionius.
