A medieval stone church about a kilometre south of the Jakobstad town centre, predating the town itself by several centuries. The Pedersöre Church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries, when this stretch of the Ostrobothnian coast was already a farming and fishing community long before Jacob de la Gardie founded Jakobstad in 1652. The church served the surrounding rural parishes and remains in use today.
The interior retains medieval stonework and some original furnishings alongside later additions. The graveyard around the church contains headstones spanning several centuries of local families, many of them with Swedish names that reflect the historic dominance of Swedish-speaking settlers on this coast. A quiet and undervisited place, best reached on foot or by bicycle from the town centre.
