Imposing church built for the population of a vast area around the small city of Utsjoki in the mid 18-hundreds using three types of materials, local stone, brick and wood. When attending the service, people could stay overnight in one of several small huts overlooking the lake above which the church rises high. It closes at 5 p.m. and the key is kept by the lady running the small café across the road. If you come just before closure she will accompany you and tell you the history of the church and the church village. The locals falling in WWII are honoured in a small section of the graveyard.
