The Sodankylä Church (Finnish: Sodankylän kirkko; Northern Sami: Soađegili girku) is the 19th-century grey stone church located in the Sodankylä municipality in Lapland, Finland.
[1] The building was designed by Ludvig Isak Lindqvist [fi], and it was completed in 1859.
Funds for the construction of the church were obtained when Emperor Nicholas I of Russia approved the proposal made by the Senate of Finland on 25 February 1852.
[1] On 22 September 1856, Emperor Alexander II of Russia approved the drawings drawn up by architect Lindqvist,[1] revised in the Finnish Intendant's office, in which the Intendant Ernst Lohrmann had proposed a taller and entirely wooden tower, otherwise stone quarried from the locality has been used in the church.
Because of the building material, decorative masonry was left out, and the church became unadornedly simple.
