[FIN] Lemlandin kirkko (Pyhän Birgitan kirkko)
Pyhän Birgitan kirkko on rakennettu luultavasti 1200-luvun loppupuolella. Se korvasi aiemman 1200-luvun alkupuolelta peräisin olevan puukirkon. Torni on lisätty noin vuonna 1317 ja sen nykyinen yläosa on peräisin vuoden 1817 muutostöistä. Alttaritaulun on maalannut R.W. Ekman vuonna 1876. Saarnatuoli on vuodelta 1852. Kirkossa on kaksi kirkkolaivaa, toinen on peräisin 1600-luvulta ja toinen on lahjoitus vuodelta 1844.

Lemland-Lumparlandin seurakunta (ruots. Lemland-Lumparlands församling) on Porvoon hiippakunnan Ahvenanmaan rovastikuntaan kuuluva ruotsinkielinen Suomen evankelis-luterilaisen kirkon seurakunta.
