The size of this wooden building makes one just gaze in amazement and awe at craftsmanship in such a huge structure. The belfry outside also provides amazing views of beautiful Lake Puruvesi. A visit for a summer church service (it is only used in summer) may be satisfactory, but I cannot recommend this place for a concert. The wooden upright pews, have such narrow seats, that without cushions they are agony for anything longer more than half an hour of sitting. The venue may be an ideal location to seat large numbers, but be warned the benches are torture.

The sheer scale of building is awesome when you know its made of wood. Has a separate bell tower - which is apparently very Finnish. It was not open. Is due in 2015 to start acting as a concert hall for classical music to compliment the opera season at nearby Olavin castle in Savonlinna

It is a huge church, the largest wooden church in the world apparently. It is definitely worth a visit since it is so unique and you must also climb the stairs to the top to see the view.

Kerimäki wooden church has a very special feeling in it. It starts when you enter the church. Strong wooden scent and massive interior makes the experience more intense. High ceiling with wooden structures is something you don't very often see. The church is actually worlds largest wooden church.

This church is only open to the public from June until the end of August. I went in September so i was only able to take pictures. Beautiful. I was disappointed I could not go inside. There is a lovely cafe right across the street. (Not the Ravintola which is more resturant like.) This place was more low key and you can order from the outside and sit outside, or go inside and relax.They have a grill and ready to eat food. Also, coffee and pastries. Worth the visit!! There is a lot of history on this church. The cafe had a book on the church at the table I sat at so I was able to read and learn more. The book is in English and Finnish. This church is only about a 20 mins drive from Savonlinna.

Being one who admires the architecture of all sorts of houses of worship, I was determined to take a look at Kerimaki church in Finland's Lake district in the Southeastern part of that country. Billed as the largest wooden church inthe world, Kerimaki begins working on your sense of awe even before you set foot in the door. Inside the thrill and excitement continued as I made my way through the body of the church looking up, down and all around as they say.One apocryphal story I heard about the church is that that the architect designed the massive structure in centimeters, but the builder misunderstood and erected it using inches, which are 2.54 times larger. At any rate, the structure is 148 feet long, 138 feet wide and 121 feet tall, big enough to seat 3,000 worshipers and another 2,000 standees. I particularly enjoyed the view from the choir loft, which gave me a better appreciation of the expansiveness and spatial grandeur of this truly remarkable church. The loft is normally off limits to visitors but I lucked out by gettin gthere on the right day for admission to the loft.

The church overshadows the entire town. One wonders what they had in mind---where would the 5,000 worshipers come from?
