Pyhtää Church

The rectangular wooden church features a bell tower constructed between 1795 and 1797, with detailed stained glass windows designed by Lennart Segerstråle in 1939.

Built in 1460 by the Master of Pernå, the church underwent modifications during the Reformation when artworks on the walls were covered with whitewash until their later rediscovery.

The church stands in Itäkirkonkylä, a bilingual community where Finnish and Swedish languages reflect the historical connection between both countries in the region.

Located at Harjuntie 11 in Pyhtää, the church maintains its function as a religious center at coordinates 60.4928 latitude and 26.5419 longitude.

The structure incorporates pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses that allow large windows to illuminate the interior with natural light.
