Kitee Church

The Kitee Church features solid granite construction with architectural elements characteristic of Finnish religious buildings from the late 19th century period.

Architect Frans Anatolius Sjöström designed this religious structure in 1886, incorporating traditional Finnish architectural methods into the building's framework.

The church maintains its role as a central gathering place for religious ceremonies and community events, accommodating up to 1500 people within its walls.

Located at 109 meters above sea level, the church complex includes additional structures and serves the local parish through regular services and events.

The structure holds protected status under Finnish law, ensuring the preservation of its original granite construction and architectural features for future generations.
