Church
Sights & Landmarks
Wooden 19th-century Lutheran church with a quaint bell tower, a rustic interior & a burial ground.
Slide 1 of 8
A certainly unique church made entirely out of wood. What distinguishes it from other similar churches in Finland is that it has been preserved in its original state so its current visitors can time travel to 18th century and admire this gem. Special shout out to the very friendly and knowledgeable staff, happy to give more details about the church's history and answer any questions in fluent English.
Very nice guided tour in this wonderful 250+ years old wooden church made by local farmers
Just one area to visit but very interesting. Had an English tour that was pretty detailed. Amazing how a wooden structure is intact and well preserved. Easy to reach and don't lose the cemetery around the church.
It's a site worth seeing but the fee is 8 euro just to go inside. We choose to walk the grounds and view the exterior for free.
One of the best wooden churches I have been to - very quaint, simple, unique & well-preserved! A must visit if you are in Jyvaskala.
Beautiful old church with informative tour in the summer
The church is really nice, something that you rarely would see somewhere else as it is entirly made with wood. The church is small, but it's really interesting both for the architecture and for the history. If you're visiting it in winter remember to wear warm clothes as the church is not heated.
lovely old church. the guide let us in 15 minutes before opening time because we were already there!
