[SWE] I Närpes finns en stor samling kyrkstall bevarade. De användes för att inhysa hästar under kyrkfärderna. De äldsta kyrkstallarna i Närpes är från 1700-talet, de yngsta från början av 1900-talet.
[FIN] Närpiössä on iso joukko ainutlaatuista kirkkotallia, joissa kirkkovieraat ennen lepuuttivat hevosiaan jumapalveluksen aikana. Vanhimmat tallit ovat 1700-luvulta, uusimmat 1900-luvun alkupuolelta.
[ENG] In Närpiö there is a big group of log houses which were built as stables so local people travelling all the way to Sunday church could keep them safe. The oldest are from the 1700-century and the newest from beginning of 1900-century.

The cache is easy to approach because it is close by the road. If there is a lot of snow it might be difficult to find the cache.
Cache originally contained a pencil, logbook, matchbox and earplugs. It can be a little bit tricky to pull/push out!
