About this site
Wooden church, equal-armed cruciform church. Ristiina wooden church is in the form of an equal-armed cross. The steeply hipped, tall church is covered with shingles. The transept arm gables have small entrance structures. The church hall is covered by a plank barrel vault, with an angular dome at the crossing. The altarpiece from 1883 is by Alexandra Frosterus-Sältin and is flanked by portraits of Pietari Brahe and his wife Kristina Katarina Stenbock, painted in the mid-17th century. Next to the church there is a separate wooden bell tower from 1752 (A. Sorsa). The churchyard is surrounded by an old stone wall. In addition to the church, the church square is bordered by a municipal building constructed in the early 1900s and a church village school representing early primary school architecture. The younger building stock of the parish is represented by a wooden vicarage on the shore of Saimaa completed in 1946 and designed by Martti Välikangas.
