Savilahti Stone Sacristy

The Stone Sacristy

The Stone Sacristy is located on Porrassalmenkatu in Savilahti, Mikkeli, Finland and serves as the sacristy of the old church, which was preserved when the church was destroyed. The walls of the original building, which once had log end triangles and a flat wooden roof as an extension, have been preserved.

It is considered one of Savonia's oldest buildings and one of the most famous symbols of Mikkeli. The exact date of its construction is uncertain. The current façade of the sacristy is the result of renovations carried out in the 1930s.

In 1930, the town council funds to the museum association to convert the sacristy into an ecclesiastical museum. The following year, the sacristy was opened as a museum, showcasing a collection of ecclesiastical artefacts from Mikkeli and the surrounding regions.
