Martin's Church

The architects have clearly thought of the church as a royal court chamber and for this reason the basic construction is reminiscent of a basilica.

Einari Wehmas and Karl Ingenius, artists from Turku, won the competition that was arranged for a work of art to decorate the altar wall.

The whole altar wall is covered with an "al secco" painting of Jesus Christ nailed to the cross with friends and officials at Golgatha.

On the arches there are symbolic pictures of the apostles and of a green clothed angel with a chalice in his hand.

The altar cloth was designed by the textile artist Greta Skogster, and was presented to the church as a gift at the consecration ceremony by the parish sewing circle.

The installation was designed by Sulo Muurikoski, parish organist for a long time.

Most recently, in 1980–81, the exterior and interior surfaces were repaired and repainted, some of the pews at the back of the church were removed, the tower chapel was furnished, and entrances for the disabled were built.
