About this site
Wooden church, cross church with chamfered interior corners. Teisko's small wooden church stands on the ridge of a hill sloping toward Kirkojärvi. In form it is a cruciform church with chamfered inner corners. The church has a steeply vaulted shingle roof and at the ends of the transept arms small entrance structures. The bright interior, whose vaulting has a flat intermediate ceiling dome, was tongue-and-groove panelled in the early 1900s. Of the church's fixed furnishings, the pews and altar date from this period. The older pulpit in the church is from the 17th century. The sturdy baroque bell tower with an onion dome from 1798 was also built under Åkerblom's direction. The adjacent log-built burial chapel belonging to the village of Kuljun is from 1825. Kirkojärvi forms the backdrop for a memorial monument erected for those who fell and went missing in the 1939–1944 wars. The hero statue made of black Kuru granite, topped with a cross, was designed by architect Bertel Strömmer in 1951. Beside the hero grave area stand monuments to those who fell in 1918 and to the remains left behind in Karelia.
