Kokemäki Church

Kokemäki Church is a church building in Kokemäki, Finland, designed by Johan Schytt and Carl Fredrik Adelcrantz with a cross-shaped layout. The interior features an altarpiece based on a Raphael composition and contains carefully detailed furnishings that reflect 18th-century design principles.

Construction took place between 1780 and 1786 under the reign of Swedish King Gustav III. The building was later expanded in 1886, taking on the shape that visitors see today.

The interior displays artwork and design choices that reflect its role as a gathering place for the local community. Visitors can observe how the space is arranged to accommodate various religious and civic occasions throughout the year.

The building sits at Kirkkopolku in central Kokemäki and is easy to locate with straightforward access for visitors. Services and events take place regularly, so it is helpful to check opening times before planning your visit.

The building contains artwork that blends different artistic traditions, particularly in the altar area with a composition that draws from Renaissance masters. This fusion of influences makes the interior noteworthy for visitors interested in art history and design choices.
