Somero Church

Somero Church is a red brick building designed in the Neo-Gothic style with stepped buttresses and large window sections. It features a flat-roofed main structure with a multi-sided choir section that projects forward distinctly.

Architect Georg Theodor Chiewitz designed the church, which opened in 1859. Its stone sacristy is considerably older, dating back to the 15th century.

The church remains central to community gatherings and religious observance in the town. Visitors notice how it anchors the local identity and continues to host important social events.

The interior offers generous seating capacity, making it easy to move around and explore the space. The surrounding cemetery is open for visitors to walk through and provides a peaceful green area adjacent to the building.

An 1880 organ manufactured by J. A. Zachariassen's workshop was painstakingly restored to its original condition. This carefully preserved instrument reflects the craftsmanship valued by the community over time.
