Rovaniemi Church, Lutheran church in Rovaniemi, Finland.
The church features a 54-meter steeple with a red neon cross and contains a large altar fresco measuring 14 meters in height and 11 meters in width.
The previous church from 1817 was destroyed during the Lapland War in 1944, leading to the construction of this new building completed in August 1950.
The altar fresco titled 'The Source of Life' was created by Professor Lennart Segerstråle in 1951, depicting religious themes through Finnish artistic expression.
The church building accommodates 850 seats and maintains regular visiting hours from 9 AM to 9 PM, making it accessible for both worship and tourism.
The organ, installed in 1987, contains 4000 pipes across 45 registers and was manufactured by the Bruno Christiansen factory in Denmark.
