The Finnish Heritage Agency's description

Saloisten kellotapuli on uusklassillisen puuarkkitehtuurin tunnettu ja tunnustettu erikoisuus, joka esiintyy jo kaikissa 1700-luvun lopun arkkitehtuuria käsittelevissä julkaisuissa niin Suomessa kuin Ruotsissa.

Pohjaltaan neliönmuotoinen tapuli on rakennettu korkean läpikäytävän päälle silloisen kirkkotarhan hirsiaidan yhteyteen. Tapulin kulmissa ilman kapiteeleja olevat neliömäiset kulmapilarit ja ääniaukkojen molemmin puolin kanneloidut doorilaiset pylväät sekä niiden varassa lepäävä palkisto ja laakea vesikatto, jota triglyyfit ja mutulit korostavat voimakkaasti. Tila on alkuaan ollut avoin. Laudoitus ja kellojen ääniluukut on lisätty todennäköisesti jo 1820-luvulla.

Saloisten tapulin lähtökohtana oli kuningas Kustaa III:n omakätinen piirros, jonka pohjalta yli-intendentinvirastossa laadittiin lopullinen piirustus 1785. Tapuli läpikäytävineen rakennettiin Jacob Rijfin johdolla 1786.

Tukipilarikirkko, jonka luona tapuli sijaitsi, paloi 1930. Nykyinen kirkko vuodelta 1932 on rakennusmestari Juho Karvosen suunnittelema.

The bell tower at Saloiset is a well-known and recognised speciality of neoclassical timber architecture, which already appears in all publications on late 18th-century architecture in both Finland and Sweden.

The bell tower, square in plan, was built over a tall through-passage, against the log fence of the churchyard as it then was. At the corners of the tower are square corner pilasters without capitals, and on either side of the sound openings are fluted Doric columns, together with the entablature resting on them and the low roof, which is strongly emphasised by its triglyphs and mutules. The space was originally open. The boarding and the bell louvres were probably added as early as the 1820s.

The starting point for the Saloiset bell tower was a sketch in his own hand by King Kustaa III, on the basis of which the final drawing was prepared at the Office of the Superintendent General in 1785. The bell tower with its passageway was built under the direction of Jacob Rijf in 1786.

The buttressed church beside which the bell tower stood (tukipilarikirkko) burned in 1930. The present church, dating from 1932, was designed by master builder Juho Karvonen.
