[FIN] Ahlaisissa on Porin vanhin kirkko. Salomon Köykkä-Köhlströmin rakentama kaksilaivainen puukirkko valmistui 1796. Kirkosta erillään olevan kellotapulin suunnitteli Carl Ludvig Engel. Tapuli saatiin vuonna 1832.

Ahlaisten ensimmäinen kirkko oli valmistunut 1690-luvulla. Isovihan aikaan se kärsi melkoisia vaurioita, kirkon kellotkin katosivat. Eli tämän nykyisen kirkon kirkonkellot eivät ole peräisin vanhasta kirkosta.

Kellotorni on erikseen kirkosta. Sen väri on punainen kun kirkon on valkoinen. Tornin keskiosassa on pieni tasanne kaiteineen. Tornin huipulla on risti.

[EN] Ahlainen is the oldest church in Pori. The two-nave wooden church built by Salomon Köykkä-Köhlström was completed in 1796. The belfry, which is separate from the church, was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel. Bell tower was build in 1832.

The first church in Ahlainen was completed in the 1690s. At the time of Big Hatred, it suffered quite a bit of damage, the church bells also disappeared. So the church bells of this current church do not come from the old church.

The bell tower is separate from the church. Its color is red while the church's is white. In the middle of the tower there is a small platform with railings. There is a cross at the top of the tower.
