Kärkölä's neo-Gothic red-brick church rises amid open fields at an old road crossing — a long church with a west tower whose transept opens onto a quiet, plain-like landscape.
Look for: Look to the south of the church: the broad field is broken by the long lime avenue of the former Huovila cavalry farm.
Stone church. Kärkölä church village is located on a hill rising up amid open fields at the crossroads of old highways. The neo-Gothic church built of red brick is in the form of a long church with a west tower to whose nave a transept is attached. Around the church is a small churchyard while the actual cemetery is on the other side of the road.
