Hailuoto Church

The Hailuoto Church (Finnish: Hailuodon kirkko; Swedish: Karlö kyrka) is the 1972 church located on the Hailuoto island in North Ostrobothnia, Finland.[1][2] The church was designed by architects Irma and Matti Aaltonen.[2] It is built of reinforced concrete and has a capacity of about 200–300.[3] The church was built to replace the former church from 1620, which was destroyed by fire in 1968.[1][2][4] A natural forest cemetery is located near the church.[1][5]

The church's 11-tone pipe organ was made by the Kangasala's organ factory in the year the church was completed.[6]
