Lumijoki Church

The wooden structure of Lumijoki Church rises 13 meters above sea level and accommodates 1,300 people within its late 19th-century architectural design.

Following the destruction of two previous churches, architect Johan Ludvig Lybeck designed this building, which opened its doors on August 3, 1890.

The church maintains a silver communion set from 1751, including a chalice that Finnish soldiers recovered in 1918 after its theft before 1783.

Located at Ylipääntie 15 in Lumijoki, the church continues to serve the local Lutheran congregation while offering guided tours to visitors.

This religious building forms part of the Kankaanpääntien kylämaisema rural landscape and holds protected status as a cultural heritage monument.
