During the Middle Ages, mainly the period 1430 to 1560, an extensive church project was launched in the diocese of Turku, then part of Uppsala Archdiocese, which meant that stone churches would be built instead of the parish churches in wood that were around the diocese. Not all stone churches were completed, but a large number of church buildings were completed and are preserved today. In Finland's medieval stone churches, Markus Hiekkanen presents all 104 church projects, landscape by landscape. Each chapter begins with a presentation of the landscape and against a historical background, then the churches' building history, their interior, frescoes and fixtures, both lost and preserved. A rich image illustrates each church. The book is a detailed critical study of the church room in the medieval diocese of Turku and is a key contribution to the discussion of Finland's medieval churches. Markus Hiekkanen is an archaeologist, art historian and medieval researcher and has worked at the National Board of Antiquities, the Academy of Finland, the University of Helsinki and the University of Turku. Under medeltiden, i huvudsak perioden 1430 till 1560, lanserades ett omfattande kyrkoprojekt i Åbo stift, då en del av Uppsala ärkestift, som innebar att kyrkor i sten skulle byggas i stället för de församlingskyrkor i trä som fanns runtom i stiftet. Alla stenkyrkor fullbordades inte, men ett stort antal kyrkobyggnader färdigställdes och finns bevarade i dag. I Finlands medeltida stenkyrkor presenterar Markus Hiekkanen samtliga 104 kyrkoprojekt, landskap för landskap. Varje kapitel inleds med en presentation av landskapet och mot en historisk bakgrund presenteras sedan kyrkornas byggnadshistoria, deras inredning, kalkmålningar och inventarier, både försvunna och bevarade. Ett rikt bildmaterial illustrerar varje kyrka. Boken är en detaljerad kritisk studie av kyrkorummet i det medeltida Åbo stift och utgör ett centralt bidrag till diskussionen om Finlands medeltida kyrkor. Markus Hiekkanen är arkeolog, konsthistoriker och medeltidsforskare och har varit verksam vid Museiverket, Finlands Akademi, Helsingfors universitet och Åbo universitet
