Karvia Church, Lutheran church in Karvia, Finland
Karvia Church stands as a wooden structure designed by architect Salomon Köhlström, featuring a bell tower completed in 1806 next to the main building.
The construction of this religious building began in 1789 and concluded with its official inauguration in 1799, marking a decade of architectural development.
The interior contains wall paintings and an altarpiece titled 'Jesus in Gethsemane' created by Carl Gabriel Diederichs from Tampere in 1843.
Located at Kirkkomukka 1 A in Karvia, the church maintains regular services and remains open for visits during summer months from June through August.
A traditional wooden statue known as vaivaisukko stands in front of the bell tower, representing a characteristic element of Finnish church architecture.
