Kerimäki Church, Lutheran church in Savonlinna, Finland.
The wooden structure extends 45 meters in length, 42 meters in width, and reaches a height of 37 meters at its central dome.
Anders Fredrik Granstedt designed this church, which was constructed between 1844 and 1847 to serve the growing Lutheran congregation in the region.
The church interior contains 1670 meters of wooden pews arranged to accommodate more than 3000 people during traditional Lutheran services.
During winter months, religious services take place in a separate smaller building from 1953 due to heating limitations in the main structure.
The internal volume makes this structure the largest wooden church worldwide, with a maximum capacity reaching 5000 people for special occasions.
