It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994 for exemplifying traditional wooden church architecture of the Nordic countries. The church is located on a peninsula at Lake Solikkojärvi in central Finland. According to UNESCO, the construction of the church was led by local master builder Jaakko Leppänen, after which it was taken care of and improved by relatives such as the grandson Erkki Leppänen in 1821. About the church’s characteristics UNESCO writes that it is “representative of the architectural tradition of wooden churches in northern Europe”. What adds to the uniqueness of the church is the masterful appliance of traditional log construction techniques of the local peasantry. Today the church is a popular tourist destination as well as a functional Lutheran church in the summer. 1763 edvinpohto Site 524 09/05/2022 https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/584/ cm x cm x cm https://petajavesioldchurch.fi/ current,62.250079031670644,25.1839900003688; twitter,https://twitter.com/PetajavesiWHS;facebook,https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pet%C3%A4j%C3%A4veden-vanha-kirkko/1578164492446859;instagram,https://www.instagram.com/petajavesioldchurch/?hl=fi; Building Vanhankirkontie 9, 41900 PETÄJÄVESI, Finland 917 public Petäjäveden seurakunta 1 edvin.pohto@live.fi Petäjävesi Old Church https://petajavesioldchurch.fi/ TEXT
