Hello! I’m Ayumi. We researched about “Petajavesi Old Church”.
It takes 10hours from Japan Helsinki airport by plane. I introduce about its history.
This is a church built of wood. it became a world heritage site in 1994. It was built by a local carpenter and workmen between 1763 and 1765.
In those days, it was the mainstream to build a church by luxurious architecture of Baroque and Rococo. But it was not introduced in Finland. So, they represented by listening to architecture and their imagination. In 1821, it was rebuilt as a present temple.
Recently, it is used for weddings in summer.
