The Petäjävesi Old Church is a wooden church built in 1763–1764. Abandoned in 1879, it was rediscovered and restored from the 1920s. The church’s original appearance is exceptionally well preserved. The Church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994.
This concrete church was built in 1962 in order to accommodate the Catholic population of central Finland.
The Toivakka Church, in the neo-gothic style, was built according to the plans of the architect L. I. Lindqvist from 1879 to 1882. The bell tower was completed earlier in 1871. The church was renovated in the 1920s under the direction of the architect Alvar Aalto. In 1973, Pallervo Lukumies, a local artist, painted the special ceiling paintings of the church, based on pop art and the Bible.
