Ylöjärvi church

Ylöjärvi

Why visit

A symmetrical cruciform church with a west tower and bevelled inner corners: from the crossing rises an attic storey crowned by a large faceted cone, topped with a small lantern.

Look for: Notice the dome, which was lowered in 1927. Nearby stands the main building of the Ylöjärvi rectory from 1860, with a small park attached.
