Saarijärvi Church

The white church structure stands at 129 meters above sea level and displays symmetrical design elements characteristic of 1840s religious architecture.

Architect Anders Fredrik Granstedt completed this ecclesiastical building in 1849 under the supervision of the National Board of Public Building.

The church serves as the central gathering place for Lutheran services and remains an integral part of the Saarijärvi community's religious traditions.

Located at Paavontie 8, the protected church building maintains regular worship schedules and welcomes visitors during designated hours throughout the week.

The church belongs to the Diocese of Lapua and incorporates specific architectural features that reflect the transition from wooden to stone construction in Finland.
