We visited so much that we got to see the monuments and the church and the outside of the shrine. Nice church.

Stunningly stunning and at the same time a time travel to the events of the civil war! Worth a visit.

A wonderful church designed by Engel, bursting with art and history. The congregation had organized open doors to the church; in the church, you got a high-quality introduction tour and the children had photo orientation with prizes ? Lapua Cathedral still has Finland's largest church organ.

A very beautiful cathedral church, completed in 1827. The window and ceiling paintings were designed by Paavo Leinonen in 1927. The organ is the largest in Finland. Very friendly guide
