Lammi Church

Lammi Church is a medieval Lutheran church dedicated to St. Catherine, built between 1490 and 15103. Until 1918 the interior of the church was made of wood. The wooden church was destroyed by a fire on April 29, 1918, during the Finnish Civil War. The pulpit, most of the archives and the bell tower were destroyed, leaving only the grey stone foundations. The reconstruction of the church and bell tower was designed by Usko Nyström (1861-1925).
