The church on a hill and the adjacent cemetery and vicarage are a site of cultural and historic value. Surrounded by the cemetery, the cruciform-plan church dates from 1755. The transepts taper outwards, and the faces of the roof, with special shingle patterns, are of slightly curved shape. The present appearance of the church is from the 1930s, when alterations were carried out according to designs by the architect Kauno S. Kallio. The mural paintings of the interior are by the painter Hannes Malin of Heinola. The church seats between 800 and 900 persons.
