Jäppilä Church

The church stands in the heart of Jäppilä village, featuring traditional Finnish architectural elements with wooden construction and minimal decorative patterns.

Ferdinand Öhman designed this religious structure in 1872, working with the National Board of Public Building to create a place of worship.

The church cemetery contains a stone wall enclosure, representing traditional Finnish burial customs and serving as a central point for community gatherings.

Located 20 kilometers from Pieksämäki center, the church provides religious services and maintains regular opening hours for visitors throughout the year.

The structure received protection status as a heritage building, marking its role in preserving Finnish ecclesiastical architecture from the late 19th century.
