3. 3.0 Imatrankoski Church (5 reviews)
   - Imatrankosken kirkko
   Spent < 1 hour Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
   
   
   Назвать это достопримечательностью достаточно сложно. Хотя и находится вроде в центре, однако найти её непросто - расположено внутри жилого района недалеко от берега Вуоксы. Если бы не массивный крест на фасаде - вообще не похожа на храм, обычное невысокое строение. Даже колокольня из бетона рядом больше напоминает пожарную каланчу, если бы не крест наверху. Построена была в 1954-м году. К сожалению была закрыта, единственное, что удалось выяснить - что летом не работает, а открывается за час до службы. Из всех немногих церквей маленькой Иматры - не интересна абсолютна как достопримечательность. Однако у местных жителей возможно другое мнение. See more..

   Linnoituksen ensimmäinen osa on rakennettu 1773-1781 ja oli kooltaan 650m x 800m eli varsin kookas. Toinen vaihe 1791-1796 käsitti sisäosan.
