The church and the surroundings are very nice!There is a nice observatory nearby also where you can enjoy the view over the lake!Out of season a bit hard to find a place for coffee though
-
It is a huge church, the largest wooden church in the world apparently. It is definitely worth a visit since it is so unique and you must also climb the stairs to the top to see the view.

It is said that the size of the church was the result of a miscalculation when it was built (the architect was working in centimetres, which the builder misunderstood to be inches, which are 2.54 times larger). But most likely the church was actually intended to be as big as it is, so it could easily accommodate 5000 people at the same time. The church is closed in winter time as there is no heating. Inside the church there are wooden sculptures of poor men with alms box where you can put coins.

It's well worth visiting this enormous church. It's on a hill, painted yellow with white windows on the outside. Inside, on a summer day, the sunlight streamed in through all the windows. The walls and pillars are painted a marbled grey. There is a huge pipe organ and a large painting over the altar. The atmosphere is lovely. It's only used for services in summer because there is no heating. The exception is a special Christmas service with candles. Minus degrees both outside and in.Give a few euros for the renovation.

Kerimäki wooden church has a very special feeling in it. It starts when you enter the church. Strong wooden scent and massive interior makes the experience more intense. High ceiling with wooden structures is something you don't very often see. The church is actually worlds largest wooden church.

Being one who admires the architecture of all sorts of houses of worship, I was determined to take a look at Kerimaki church in Finland's Lake district in the Southeastern part of that country. Billed as the largest wooden church inthe world, Kerimaki begins working on your sense of awe even before you set foot in the door. Inside the thrill and excitement continued as I made my way through the body of the church looking up, down and all around as they say.One apocryphal story I heard about the church is that that the architect designed the massive structure in centimeters, but the builder misunderstood and erected it using inches, which are 2.54 times larger. At any rate, the structure is 148 feet long, 138 feet wide and 121 feet tall, big enough to seat 3,000 worshipers and another 2,000 standees. I particularly enjoyed the view from the choir loft, which gave me a better appreciation of the expansiveness and spatial grandeur of this truly remarkable church. The loft is normally off limits to visitors but I lucked out by gettin gthere on the right day for admission to the loft.

The church overshadows the entire town. One wonders what they had in mind---where would the 5,000 worshipers come from?

It is THE LARGEST wooden church in the world. A sure must see!It is a summer church and closed in winter, except for Christmas mass (Dec, 24).

We had a short visit while we were returning from Savonlinna. The church is very interesting and enchanting. When you see how bit it is you might not believe that it is entirely made of wood. There is nothing else in surrounding but its worth a stop.

Awesome! Worlds largest wooden church and so beautiful! I really enjoyed to feel myself so small in this huge big church!
