Janakkala Church

The stone building features a vaulted brick ceiling, a single nave, and extends into a cruciform structure with a half-octagon-shaped sacristy at the northern end.

Construction of the church concluded in 1520, making it the final medieval stone church built in the Tavastia region under the direction of Åke Tott.

The church contains medieval sculptures, including a 14th-century oak figure of St Lawrence and a 15th-century crucifix mounted on interior walls.

Located at Hakoistentie 347 in Janakkala, the structure accommodates 650 people and maintains regular Lutheran services throughout the year.

The mechanical organ, installed in 1993 with 40 registers, demonstrates North-German baroque design principles and enhances the building's acoustics.
