Lapland's Sacred Sites

This collection showcases the diverse ecclesiastical architecture of Lapland, ranging from 17th-century wooden block-pillar churches to mid-20th-century post-war reconstructions. Highlights include the Sodankylä Old Church, one of Finland's oldest wooden buildings, and the Utsjoki Church, the northernmost in the European Union. These sites, often situated along major rivers like the Kemijoki and Tana, reflect the region's history, from medieval traditions to the neoclassical designs of C.L. Engel and modern functionalist styles.
