Kärsämäki Church, Neoclassical church in Kärsämäki, Finland.
The church features a log-built core structure covered by black tarred shingles, with natural light entering through a central lantern skylight.
Built in 1842 under the direction of architect Carl Ludvig Engel and the National Board of Public Building, replacing an earlier church from 1765.
The building represents Finnish architectural heritage through its traditional wood crafting techniques and use of locally sourced materials from parish forests.
The interior space offers flexible arrangements without fixed seating, allowing the congregation to adapt the space for different types of gatherings.
Local craftsmen created 50,000 wooden shingles from ash logs, splitting them with axes and treating them with tar for weather protection.
