Pieksämäki Old Church, Church building in Pieksämäki, Finland
The wooden Pieksämäki Old Church stands at 147 meters elevation, featuring a separate bell tower constructed in 1746 by architect August Sorsa.
Built in 1753, the Pieksämäki Old Church became part of the Diocese of Kuopio and underwent interior painting restoration work between 2001 and 2002.
The pulpit and gallery railings display paintings by Mikael Toppelius, adding artistic elements to this religious structure in eastern Finland.
Located at Kirkkotie 31 in Pieksämäki, the church maintains regular services and accommodates between 600 to 800 people for religious ceremonies.
The bell tower predates the main church structure by seven years, making it the oldest standing building in the entire Pieksämäki region.
