Shaped by navigation, trade, and warfare, the Aland Islands, the westernmost archipelago of more than 300 habitable islands between Sweden and Finland, are home to some of the oldest churches in Finland. Churches are the only buildings in the ?land Islands to have been in continuous use since the Middle Ages, yet no one really knows how old they are. There are no medieval sources or written records that shed light on the building history of the churches. Yet the churches themselves, with their fittings and decorative ornamentations, medieval wooden sculptures, and wall paintings, are the most important source of knowledge about the medieval history of the ?land Islands. The Voice of the ?land Churches presents the history of these wonderfully preserved places of worship through architectural, art historical, and archaeological studies. This stunningly beautiful book will appeal to those interested in medieval churches and what they can tell us about medieval life.
