Övertorneå Church, Ecclesiastical complex in Övertorneå Municipality, Sweden
The stone church features traditional Nordic architectural elements, incorporating a bell tower and large windows that illuminate the interior space throughout the year.
Hans Biskop designed this religious structure in 1737, establishing it as a central place of worship for the growing community in northern Sweden.
The church serves both Swedish and Meänkieli speaking populations, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the Övertorneå region near the Finnish border.
