Liminka Church

Liminka Church displays symmetrical design with columns in the Neoclassical style and stands elevated above the surrounding landscape. The building defines the area's appearance with its bright facade and prominent bell tower.

The building was designed and constructed in 1826 by architects from the central authority for public buildings. It emerged during a period when Finnish regions shaped their architectural identity through such classical structures.

The church serves the local community as a place for religious ceremonies and gatherings within the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland. It shapes community life in Liminka and remains a social focal point for residents in the area.

The building sits in Liminka, located south of Oulu, at a clearly visible spot in the town center. Visitors should keep in mind that this is an active place of worship, so accessibility and visiting hours may vary depending on scheduled services or events.

The building and its surroundings together hold protected status, which means both the architecture and the landscape around it are preserved. This protection gives the site special cultural importance that extends beyond the structure itself.
