Suodenniemi Church

The tall white church building in Pohjakylä displays symmetrical proportions with rectangular windows and a bell tower reaching toward the sky.

Charles Bassi, Anton Wilhelm Arppe, and Carl Ludvig Engel collaborated on designing this church, which opened its doors to worshippers in 1831.

The church serves as a protected religious landmark within the Diocese of Tampere, maintaining traditional Finnish Lutheran practices for the local community.

Located at Koippurintie 9 in Sastamala, the church welcomes visitors who can observe its architectural details and participate in regular services.

The building represents a collaboration between three notable Finnish architects, making it an exceptional example of early 19th-century ecclesiastical architecture.
