Tornio Church

Tornio's wooden church (1684-88) is one of the best preserved 17th century wooden churches in Finland. Its high saddle roof is covered with shingles arranged in a pattern; the separate belfry has a steeple surrounded by five turrets. The interior is attractive, with a painted timber ceiling, a carved wooden pulpit and a brass chandelier. To the north of the church is a water tower with a viewing platform and a cafe.
