Lemi Church

Construction on the Lemi church began in 1668, but it was the victim of arson before it could be inaugurated. The current church was built by Juhana Salonen, an architect from Savitaipale, and work was completed in 1786. This unique wooden church of architecturally important, and although it has been renovated over the years, it hasn’t altered in appearance. The altarpiece was made by local artist Antti Muukka in 1925. The church also possesses a crystal candle crown from St. Petersburg, which was generously donated.
