Beautiful and simple Lutheran church designed by Alvar Aalto. It's open everyday from 11am. And while you're there, ask the person in the church to open the door of the tower, if it's not open.See more..
3.0Kauhava Church(1 review) - A church in red brick and gray granite Churches & Cathedrals
I was with the Esse Hembygdssällskap on a trip to Kauhava, where we visited the beautiful Kauhava Church. Kauhava Church is a neo-Gothic , tower-like long church in Kauhava . The church was designed by architect Josef Stenbäck . The church accommodates 950 people. The church was built of red brick and gray granite between 1923 and 1925 and was inaugurated on October 4, 1925. The formerly existing wooden church of 1756 was burnt down in 1921.See more..

5.0Tornava Church(1 review) - From Gunpowder to Word of God Churches & Cathedrals
This old church, build in 1827, was originally a gunpowder warehouse. It is situated not far from the Törnävä Manor, originally Wasastierna Manor. The Wasastierna family ran different kinds of business in their years, one of them being the gunpowder factory. The gunpowder laboratory house still exists and is part of the Museum of Southern Ostrobothnia (Etelä-Pohjanmaan Maakuntamuseo). It was turned to a church already in 1864, as the gunpowder manufacturing had ended some 10 years earlier. To me, the wooden interior is like just another Finnish church, yet a bit old fashioned with its old iron stoves. There are rather new organs in the church, from 1960's, built by German-Finnish organ builder Hans Heinrich. The Törnävä Church is a very popular venue for weddings and in Christmas time, it's crowded with people singing and listening to Christmas carols. I, too, use to attend those events almost every year. I find this church, a former gunpowder warehouse, a bit symbolic, too. Some people say that Gospel is gunpowder for sinners. At least, some concerts seem to be an explosive experience to music lovers.See more..
