Pelkosenniemi Church

Wooden 1929 church in the village centre, part of a nationally valued built environment.

Pelkosenniemi Church is a modest wooden church from 1929, standing in the village centre. Its plainness is part of the appeal; this is not a grand urban church, but a northern parish building that survived in a landscape where many older structures did not.

The church and its surroundings are best seen as part of a village walk. Check access locally if you want to go inside, since opening is usually tied to services or request rather than steady visitor hours.
