Jukkasjärvi Church, Wooden church in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden

The red and white timber church features a separate bell tower and stands as a prominent religious structure in Swedish Lapland.

Built in 1607, this religious building underwent modifications until 1785, marking its position as the oldest church in the Lapland region.

The church displays a triptych altarpiece by artist Bror Hjorth, depicting the interaction between Christian and Sami traditions in the region.

The church opens daily from 9 AM to 3 PM, with extended hours until 5:45 PM between mid-June and mid-August.

The structure represents the last remaining example of a block-pillar church in Sweden, with an organ made from reindeer horn and birch.
