History & Architecture

The long church with an end tower was built according to the plans of the architect L. I. Lindqvist in 1879–1882. The belfry was completed earlier in 1871. The church's style is neo-Gothic. Toivakka Church is located on Syrjäharju, from which its tower separates on the main road that runs through the church village. The church was renovated in the 1920s under the direction of architect Alvar Aalto. Aalto also designed artefacts for the church.
