Beautiful old church. A warm-hearted denominational church.

Beautiful church

Äänentoisto todella huono, ei saanut selvää eikä kuullut papin puhetta.

As such, a fine old wooden church. Rippi worship was thus old-fashioned and thus distressing in Ostrobothnia compared to more modern worship services for young people.

I just looked from the outside, there would be a dire need for paint from the outside.

The first written record of church in Danmark locality date back to the year 1291. Close to the church are several stones with a Christian text and cross inscribed. The oldest parts of the present red-brick church are from the 1300s. In the late 1400s the church was enlarged to the appearance it has today. The church has been modified both internally and externally several times, among other things after the fires in 1699 and 1889. There are lot of well-preserved mural paintings in the walls.
