Chapel at Peurasaari Graveyard

The chapel at Peurasaari graveyard is a small functionalist building from 1937, designed by Matti Pitkänen. Its simple form is softened by decorative patterning below the roofline, making it a worthwhile stop for travellers interested in Finnish modern architecture.

The surrounding cemetery was established in 1897 and gives the chapel a quiet setting a short distance from central Kemi.
