Myllykoski Church

Myllykoski Church is a parish church featuring Gothic Revival characteristics defined by pointed arches and steep lines. The building follows the architectural style of the 1930s with distinctive details typical of Northern European religious structures from that era.

Construction began in 1936 with financial backing from the local paper mill, which also provided the land. This industrial support tied the building closely to the area's economic development.

This place of worship serves the local evangelical Lutheran community for religious services and life milestone celebrations. It has shaped the appearance of the Myllykoski area and functions as a gathering point for spiritual and community events.

The building is easy to reach and has capacity for several hundred visitors. Modern facilities enable comfortable worship services and other religious gatherings.

The interior mirrors the design of Jämsänkoski Church since architect Wäinö Gustaf Palmqvist designed both buildings. This architectural connection makes them interesting to compare for those interested in religious buildings.
