Toivakka Church, Gothic Revival church in Toivakka, Finland.
The church stands on top of a hill with red-painted wooden walls, steep roofs, and tall windows following Gothic Revival architectural principles.
Architect Ludvig Isak Lindqvist designed this religious building, which opened its doors to worshippers in 1882 and received protected status for its architectural value.
The interior features ceiling paintings created by artist Pellervo Lukumies in 1973, depicting modern interpretations of biblical figures and religious themes.
Visitors can explore the church during summer months from Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 16:00, with additional visiting hours available through advance arrangements.
The church experienced an art controversy when Pellervo Lukumies had to enter through a window to complete his work after doors were locked to prevent his modern biblical paintings.
