The church was badly damaged in the great city fire in Vanha Vaasa on August 3, 1852. The damage was judged to be so great that they did not dare rebuild the church.

The altar piece and pulpit had been moved to Replot's church in the 1840s and were therefore also preserved.

Next to the church ruins are also the foundations of the former trivial school, the lowest floors of the former belfry and the former main square. The area is popularly known as "Old Vaasa ruins".
