Rovaniemi - Lutheran Church

To the south of the Provincial Government Offices in Rovaniemi, beyond the railroad, stands the Lutheran church (by Bertel Liljequist, 1950), with an altar fresco by Lennart Segerstråhle, "The Source of Life". To the left of the entrance a stone marks the site of the earlier church (1817-1944). Adjoining the church is the churchyard, with a large memorial to the Finnish soldiers who fell in the Second World War. Opposite the church is a monument to the Finnish freedom fighters of 1918.
