Enonkoski monastery, Lutheran monastery in Ihamaniemi, Finland
Enonkoski monastery is a Lutheran religious community in Ihamaniemi housed within a former school building and features a chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The facility contains guest accommodations for up to 13 people, communal dining spaces, a sauna, meeting rooms, and gardens for prayer and gathering.
The site began as a religious community in 1994 when Finland's Evangelical Lutheran Church converted a former school building into a monastery. This founding established the nation's only Lutheran monastery.
The monastery carries forward Finnish Lutheran traditions through regular worship and prayer practices rooted in local musical heritage. Visitors encounter a place where spiritual practice connects to the surrounding rural community.
The location is best accessed on foot when visiting the village of Ihamaniemi and offers a quiet setting to explore. Visitors should inquire ahead since availability changes based on the season and scheduled activities.
The monastery operates without permanent residents and relies on volunteer supporters who are active especially during summer months. This arrangement makes it a distinctive example of communal religious life in Scandinavia.
