Why visit

Suoniemi's timber cross-church, an equal-armed cross with chamfered inner corners, draws you in quietly: a wooden church whose facade is marked by dark-painted mouldings.

Look for: Pause before the altarpiece: the Crucifixion, painted by Felix Frang in 1903. Beside the church lie an old cemetery and the parish granary.
