Sääksmäki Church, Stone church in Valkeakoski, Finland.
Sääksmäki Church is a stone building in Valkeakoski that blends architectural elements from medieval and modern times. The structure stands on a rise and shows layers of construction from different periods in its design.
Construction took place between the 15th and 16th centuries, and the building underwent major reconstruction following a fire in 1929. It reopened in 1933, marking a new beginning after the damage.
The interior contains artworks created by local artists, including stained glass windows, ceiling paintings, and carved reliefs that shape the visual character of the space. These pieces reflect the artistic traditions that have defined the region over time.
The church is located at a central address with access to the surrounding churchyard and grounds. Guided tours are available to help visitors understand the interior and the site.
The interior houses two medieval Catholic sculptures dating from the 14th and 15th centuries that survive from the pre-Reformation period. These figures represent a religious era that ended centuries ago.
