  Kirkko on kauniisti korjattu, modernilla otteella. Osmo Rauhalan ja Kuutti Lavosen työt ovat "piste i:n päälle".  more »

  The church has been beautifully harvested, with a modern twist. The works of Osmo Rauhala and Kuutti Lavos are on the "dot i".

  Небольшая, но красивая каменная церковь! Построена в начале 16-го века, но, к сожалению, в 1997 году была сожжена грабителемм. Позже восстановлена местными жителями. Расположена прямо на берегу озера ...  more »

  A small but beautiful stone church! It was built in the beginning of the 16th century, but, unfortunately, in 1997 it was burnt by robbers. Later restored by the locals. Located right on the shores of Lake Rautavesi. The place itself is very picturesque, disposes to a pleasant walk!

  Things to do in this church and area. The church, too, will probably thrive on this.
