Isokyrö Old Church

The grey stone church building stands at 22 meters above sea level along the Kyrö river between the provincial centers of Vaasa and Seinäjoki.

Constructed in 1304, the church served as the spiritual center of Pohjankyrö area and witnessed the Battle of Napue during the Great Northern War in 1714.

The church forms part of a heritage ensemble with Isokyrö New Church and hosts the annual 1700s Market Fair, connecting present-day visitors with local traditions.

The church location at Museotie 3 in Isokyrö is accessible through Highway 18 and the Seinäjoki-Vaasa railway, with nearby airports within 20 minutes of travel.

The structure represents one of Finland's protected religious buildings and maintains its position as a reference point in the NLS Geographic Names Register.
