Nilsiä church, Stone church in Nilsiä, Finland.

The Nilsiä church features quartzite walls mined from Tahkovuori mountain, with architectural elements combining national romance and neogothic styles.

Josef Stenbäck designed this stone church, which opened its doors to worshippers in 1906 and stands at an elevation of 116 meters.

The church building accommodates 1200 people for regular services, weddings, and community gatherings, making it central to local religious life.

Located at Kirkkotie 1 in Kuopio municipality, the church maintains its original structure through protective heritage regulations that govern any modifications.

The quartzite used in construction came directly from the nearby Tahkovuori mountain, connecting the building materially to its geographical location.
