Why you should visit it
The altarpiece depicting the resurrection was painted by Robert Ekman in 1863. About 30 years later, August Krook finished the church hall in Art Nouveau style. The interior of the church is a rarity, as little of the late 19th-century repetitive church architecture has survived.
Special tip
Also rare are the stained glass paintings of the shell from 1925. The work of the artist Magnus Enckell. The church is open in Summers.
