Kempele Old Church, Lutheran church building in Kempele, Finland.
The wooden structure stands 18 meters high and features Gothic architectural elements, designed by architect Matti Härmä in traditional Finnish style.
Local inhabitants received permission to build a prayer room in 1688, leading to the completion of Kempele Old Church in 1691.
Between 1785 and 1795, church painter Mikael Toppelius created interior decorations and adorned the French-style pulpit with religious imagery.
The church maintains its status as a protected building, serving the Lutheran congregation of Kempele while preserving its architectural heritage.
Beneath the church floor lie approximately 150 historic graves dating from the late 1700s, with the final burial taking place in 1796.
