You just lost a sight.

Image. The very old beautiful rock church was destroyed by drunken teenagers.

Pictures here. Click the small pictures on the right to see them in full size.

Most of the interior remained in moderately good condition, but the renovation will take years. So, instead of a nice church you'll see a construction site on top of the hill.. Luckily there are similarlish churches also elsewhere in Finland, so you haven't lost that much. However, the silhuette of Porvoo has suffered a sad damage :(

Stupid children. How come that anyone lays hands on a church? I remember the church of Porvoo; the day after the EBTM05 in Helsinki I had spent in that town and I have certainly visited that nice church as well.

All people don't like churches very much. I don't like them as an institution, but have nothing against them as buildings.
