Lapua Cathedral

The Lapua Cathedral features neoclassical architecture with wooden construction, rising 32 meters high and accommodating 1300 people within its halls.

The cathedral, designed by architect Carl Ludvig Engel and completed in 1827, represents the architectural developments during Finland's period under Russian control.

The cathedral serves as the main religious center for the Lutheran community, hosting regular services and maintaining Finnish ecclesiastical traditions.

Located at Kosolankatu 3, the cathedral opens its doors for visitors through guided tours and maintains regular worship schedules throughout the year.

The cathedral houses Finland's largest pipe organ and includes window and ceiling paintings created by artist Paavo Leinonen in 1927.
