Kannonkoski Church, Lutheran church in Kannonkoski parish village, Finland.
The white Functionalist church building stands at 142 meters elevation and includes space for 350 people within its geometric structure.
After Pauli E. Blomstedt passed away in 1935, architects Märta Blomstedt and Matti Lampén completed the church construction in 1938.
The Finnish National Board of Antiquities recognizes this church as a nationally significant heritage site, representing Functionalist architectural principles.
The church maintains regular Lutheran services and religious ceremonies, serving the local population of approximately 1,200 residents in Kannonkoski.
During the Winter War, 117 monks from Valamo Monastery found refuge at Kannonkoski, and several were later buried in the church cemetery.
