Mäntyharju Church, Lutheran church in Mäntyharju, Finland
The wooden church features a symmetric design with tall arched windows and stands at an elevation of 84 meters above sea level.
Charles Bassi designed this neoclassical church, which was constructed between 1819 and 1822 during Finland's period as a Russian Grand Duchy.
The religious building holds 1700 seats, making it the second largest wooden church in Finland and a central gathering place for local events.
The church bell tower, added in 1891, rises above the old center of Mäntyharju, located 40 kilometers southwest of Mikkeli.
Recent renovations have preserved the structure's historical elements while maintaining its status as a protected religious building under Finnish law.
