Vimpeli Church

The church features twelve corners in its architectural design, creating a circular structure that stands at 73 meters above sea level.

Architect Jacob Rijf completed the construction of Vimpeli Church in 1807, with the official opening ceremony taking place in 1811.

The interior of the church contains an altarpiece created by R. W. Ekman in 1872, representing Finnish religious artistic expression.

The church maintains its position as an active religious center within the Diocese of Lapua, serving the local Lutheran congregation.

The building stands as one of the few remaining round wooden churches in Finland, incorporating design elements inspired by Rome's Pantheon.
