Nummi Church

The cross-shaped stone structure features a tall bell tower on its eastern wall, decorated with a weathervane showing the sun and moon.

Built in 1822 to replace a wooden church from the 1600s, the building was designed by Abraham Niclas Edelcrantz from the Royal Intendent's Office.

The two-section altarpiece, painted in 1825 by Axel Johan Fägerplan, displays Jesus at the Last Supper and during the crucifixion.

Located at coordinates 60.395278, 23.879444, the church stands at 76 meters above sea level and remains active for religious services.

Three crosses and a blazing sun adorn the roof ridge of the church, while the southern wall features stained glass windows depicting Christ.
