Elimäki church

The rectangular wooden structure stands with a cruciform layout, featuring traditional Finnish ecclesiastical architecture and a bell tower from the late 18th century.

Constructed in 1638, the church underwent an expansion in 1678 to transform its original rectangular shape into a cruciform design for increased capacity.

The interior contains important religious artifacts, including a Baroque-style scallop from 1666 and a pulpit crafted by master craftsman Lorentz Haberman.

Located at Vanhamaantie 16 B in Kouvola, the church maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in exploring its historical features.

This building holds the distinction of being Finland's oldest wooden cruciform church that has remained in continuous use since its construction.
