About this site
Stone church, long church with end tower. Kotka's long church with end tower represents the German-influenced brick Gothic of the late 19th century. It ranks among the finest work of its architect Josef Stenbäck, who was particularly prolific as a church architect. The church hall is bordered by a gallery level borne by the vaults' cluster pillars. Artist Pekka Halonen's altarpiece "The Adoration of the Magi" is from 1900. The church hall's interior colour scheme was restored during the 1988–1998 repairs. The church hall's magnificent baroque organ, brushing the vault, is from 1998, and its model was the Freiberg Cathedral organ from the early 18th century. Kotka church is situated on a park-like plot with a hero grave area from the most recent wars.
