Giant's Church

A Giant's Church (Finnish: Jätinkirkko, jatulinkirkko) is the name given to prehistoric stone enclosures found along the coast of Ostrobothnia region of Finland in an area that roughly stretches from Kokkola to Kemi, with the densest concentration around Raahe and Oulu. Dating from the subneolithic period (3500–2000 BC), they are thought to be a rare example of monumental architecture built by hunter-gatherers in Northern Europe.
