Asikkala Church

Asikkala Church is a Gothic Revival church building in Asikkala, Finland, constructed from stone. The interior features high pointed arches, vertical elements, and ornate window designs that reflect Gothic Revival architectural principles throughout the space.

The building was constructed in 1880 under architect Georg Wilenius and emerged during a period of Lutheran religious expansion in southern Finland. Its construction reflected the growing religious influence and church development of the region during that era.

The building serves as a central gathering place for the Lutheran community and shapes religious life in the area through regular services and celebrations. It remains an important social and spiritual focal point for local residents.

The building is open from June through August and can be visited Sunday through Friday between noon and 5 p.m. Visitors should plan their visit during the summer months within these operating hours.

The interior accommodates around 1,300 people, making it one of the larger church buildings in the Päijänne Tavastia region. This considerable capacity reflects how important this structure was for the surrounding communities.
