Orimattila Church

Orimattila Church is a stone building designed in Empire style with symmetrical proportions and clean, orderly lines. The structure features a classical facade and occupies an elevated position within the village.

Architect Jean Wik designed this Lutheran church, which opened to the community in 1866. The building was constructed during a period when Finnish villages strengthened their religious centers with modern stone structures.

The church serves as a spiritual center for the local community and hosts regular worship gatherings throughout the year. It shapes the village landscape and remains a meaningful gathering place for residents.

The building is located at Kirkkopuisto 4 and is easy to reach, keeping in mind its elevated position in the village. Regular services and events take place throughout the year, so checking current times before your visit is advisable.

The church is part of Orimattilan kirkonmäki, a church hill overlooking the village that has drawn visitors across generations. This elevated location connects the religious structure with the surrounding landscape in a way typical of many Finnish village churches.
