What a beautiful old church!
Comment by Jack Nelson — November 13, 2009 @ 17:49 |
Thank You Jack. I am glad that You took a look at this quite peculiar church. Happy weekend.
Comment by sartenada — November 13, 2009 @ 17:51 |
I love the church. It reminds me of stuff we have learned about in my Architecture class in terms of wood and eastern european architecture before the 15oos. Those are also some great pictures to go with it.

Hello Maggie.
How happy I am when reading Your comment concerning this church. Although I have been visiting like in Milano, Vatican, Rome, Madrid, Paris, London, San Fransisco, Zürich, Geneve, Aachen, Hamburg Liechetenstein (Vaduz), Amsterdam, Brussels, Toronto, Leningrad, Santiago de Chile, Lima, Bogota, Quito, Caracas, Guatemala city, Tokio, Singapore, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Copenhague, Bangkok, Rio de Janeiro, Athens, Iraclion, Santorini, Frankfurt, Bremen, München, Gohren, Konstanz, Kressbron, Lindau, Mainau, Rouen and in many, many other cities, in those cities there are remarkably splendid churches which really are worth for visit, but they do not have anything like this – old wooden, historical churches.

Hello Jackiequeen. I am glad about Your comment. This church is really different from those what we can see generally everythere. Also this church differs from those other old wooden churches we have here.
Comment by sartenada — November 19, 2009 @ 08:00 |
This church is exceptional. I would love to visit it some day!

Absolutely gorgeous church. Love wooden churches! Thanks for visiting my blog, looks like we are on the same topic. Nothing better than a little collaboration

Hi Andri.
Thank You for Your comment. Wooden churches are close to my heart too.

Thanks so much for linking me to this, a great post! Beautiful church!

Hello Monica.
You are welcome. I am happy that You liked this “not so usual looking” wooden church in Finland.
Have a lovely day!
Comment by Sartenada — June 5, 2012 @ 06:26 |
This church looks like one we visited in Kopparberg, Sweden. This town was a mining town and apparently had a large Finnish population. Similar design and construction. Very interesting!
Comment by Rosh — February 24, 2014 @ 10:56 |
Hello Rosh.
Thank You for Your comment and interesting information. It is very possible that there is large Finnish population, because in Sweden there is 426000 Finns. My late ant moved to Stockholm, Sweden in the fifties and died there also.
Have a great start of new week!

I’ve tried to open all the photos , but up to now I’ve only managed to see a few of them…
I’ll try again because I’m very much interested in all your posts!

Chiao Anna.
I hope that You will have success to my photos, although they are old. Do You have slow connection?
Have nice day!

Hi.
I am glad that You loved this church. If it is gorgeous inside, but so it is impressive looking outside also.
Thank You.
Comment by Sartenada — August 20, 2016 @ 11:58 |
I remember visiting similar churches during a voyage through Scandinavia (too) many years ago. I would love to do it again!
Comment by tanjabrittonwriter — March 1, 2018 @ 02:06 |
Hello Tanja.
Very nice. Most beautiful and awesome wooden churches are on our countryside. In many of them v for example
Votive shipsand Statues of Paupers.
Few know Votive ships and Poor-man or Paupers are totally unknown to the rest of our world, because they are in Finland.
Have a wonderful day!
