Petäjävesi Old Church, in central Finland, was built of logs between 1763 and 1765. This Lutheran country church is a typical example of an architectural tradition that is unique to eastern Scandinavia. It combines the Renaissance conception of a centrally planned church with older forms deriving from Gothic groin vaults.

Fiskars, Finland

Terve !. This Summer, I’m touring my own country during vacation (4 weeks long). I am currently in Fiskars, where orginally in 17 th century a mill and later a machinery were set up. Pictured are very typical Finnish houses, painted with red soil paint to keep moisture away. These were built in 1820s for the workers in the machinery. Today, you might have heard of Fiskars, becouse the machinery makes the best scissors in the wolrd, with orange handles.  Terveisin,  (Jenny)
