Jyväskylä City Church, Gothic Revival church in Kirkkopuisto, Finland.
The red brick building features both neo-Roman and neo-Gothic elements, standing at 95 meters elevation in the center of Jyväskylä.
Completed in 1880 under architect L. I. Lindqvist's design, this structure became the first stone church constructed in Central Finland.
The church interior includes an altarpiece titled 'Jesus blesses the children' painted by Fredrik and Nina Ahlstedt in 1901.
Visitors can access the church Wednesday through Friday from 11 AM to 2 PM, with additional hours during religious services.
Originally built on a marketplace, the church now stands within a park that contains multiple granite and bronze sculptures.
