Pyhän Pietarin kirkko - Laitila, Finland - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

[FIN] Pyhän Pietarin kirkko (ruots. S:t Petri kyrka) on Laitilan Untamalan kylässä sijaitseva puukirkko, joka on rakennettu 1785. Paikalla ollut edellinen kirkko oli palanut vuonna 1782. Pyhän Pietarin kirkkoa on korjattu vuosina 1870 ja 1912, vuonna 1924 rakennettiin nykyiset sakaristo ja torni. Se on osa Untamalan raittikylää, joka kuuluu Museoviraston määrittelemiin valtakunnallisesti merkittäviin rakennetuihin kulttuuriympäristöihin.

Pyhän Pietarin kirkon paikalla oli kirkko ilmeisesti jo viimeistään 1200-luvulla, jolta ajalta on peräisin kirkkomaalla sijaitseva Kalevanpojan viikatteentikku. Sitä pidetään Suomen vanhimpana kristillisenä hautamuistomerkkinä.
