Beautiful wooden church
The church is very beautiful, from the outside as well as the inside. For anyone interested in churches, architecture, and/or local history, this is surely a nice addition to their list. Information sheets available in the entrance area (various different languages). So called road church.

Kajaani Church
Kajaani Church is special in this way, that the church has churchyards on 3 sides; usually church has only one churchyard in back of the church opposite the altar. The church was built in 1896 in the Neo-Gothic style by architect Jac Ahrenberg. The current church replaced an earlier church on the spot which was originally built in 1656 and destroyed by the Russians in 1716 at the time when church Kajaani castle was destroyed. The second church was built 1734-35 which served the parish for 160 years until replaced with Ahrenberg's new church. The church, built of wood, has a nave flanked by two aisles and features a delicate, slender bell tower.

Nothing too special
This is a nice old wooden church. It it worth a visit if you are near but otherwise nothing too special.
