Tottijärven kirkko

Why visit

Tottijärvi's low, towerless long-church speaks late Empire: pilasters and round-arched windows order the facade, the corners firmly rusticated. Step inside and linger.

Look for: Notice the two-tiered bell tower standing beside the church, and the grain granary from 1871 by the fence of the old cemetery.
