A beautiful and peaceful church in the heart of Rovaniemi. The Church was rebuilt in 1950 after the original was destroyed during World War II. The architect Bertel Liljequist designed the new building, with help from churches in Sweden and the United States. Inside, the altar has a huge fresco called “The Source of Life,” painted by Lennart Segerstråle. It is one of the largest altar paintings in Finland, measuring 14 by 11 meters. The church also features a large kantele, which visitors can play themselves.

És l'església principal i més emblemàtica de Rovaniemi, Va ser construïda l'any 1726 i és l'edifici de fusta més gran de tot el país. Va ser dissenyada per esdevenir el centre espiritual i comunitari de la ciutat. Té capacitat per a més de 800 persones. Originalment, era una Església catòlica, però va passar al luteranisme quan Finlàndia va declarar la independència de Rússia el 1917. La seva arquitectura única combina l'estil gòtic nòrdic en fusta amb influències barroques. L'església té seients per a 850 persones i compta amb un orgue de 45 tecles de la fàbrica d'orgues Christensen. Durant la Segona Guerra Mundial, l'església va ser cremada per les forces alemanyes el 1944. Va ser reconstruïda idèntica a l'original el 1950 per l'arquitecete Bertel Liljequist, . El 1996 va ser nomenada un dels edificis culturals més importants de Finlàndia. Encara és una icona de Rovaniemi actualment. La cúpula té una creu cristina que s'encén a la nit amb una llum púrpura. L'interior de l'església està dominat per un enorme fresc darrere de l'altar. Es diu la Font de la Vida i va ser realitzat pel professor Lennart Segerstråle el 1951.

L'església de Rovaniemi està oberta durant els mesos d'estiu (de juny a agost) i al desembre de dilluns a diumenge de 9:00 a 21:00. De gener a maig i de setembre a novembre, l'església està oberta de dilluns a divendres d'11:00 a 14:00. Serveis setmanals dimecres a les 18:00 i diumenge a les 10:00. És sens dubte l'església més emblemàtica i visitada a Rovaniemi tant per la seva arquitectura com importància històrica. Una joia arquitectònica que...
