Tuusniemi Church

Tuusniemi Church is located right in the center of the church village.

The church was built in 1869 after the previous church was destroyed by fire. The church has 820 seats and is a rare vertical log church. The altarpiece was painted by Petersen, a pharmacist who influenced the 1920s in Tuusniemi. The current 20-voice organ was built in the church in 1990.

The belfry next to the church was built in 1818.
