Muhos Church, Lutheran parish church in Muhos, Finland.

The rectangular basilica-style wooden church features white-painted walls and stands at an elevation of 22 meters above sea level.

Construction of the church began in 1634, making it the oldest preserved wooden church in Finland, with renovations completed under architect Matti Honka in 1762.

The church displays biblical motifs painted by Emanuel Granberg between 1773 and 1775, including depictions of prophets on the sacristy walls and gallery balustrade.

Located at Kirkkotie 3 in Muhos, the church provides seating for 500 people and remains open throughout the year for religious services and visitors.

The pulpit contains sculptures of angels playing trombones and a figure of the Saviour holding war artifacts from the Thirty Years War in Germany.
