Ruovesi Church, Protected wooden church in Ruovesi, Finland.
The bright yellow Ruovesi Church features an octagonal frame room and stands at an elevation of 117 meters above sea level.
Architect Matti Åkerblom designed this church in 1778, which was initially painted red before being repainted yellow between 1861 and 1862.
The wooden structure demonstrates Finnish architectural traditions through its construction techniques and incorporation of local building materials.
The religious building accommodates 1100 people and includes facilities such as a toilet building next to the main structure.
The church bell tower, constructed by Antti Piimänen in 1772, predates the main building by six years.
