Nastola church 14.9.2015

I have my Italian class in Lahti city every Monday and Friday and today my dogs Mervi and Terttu wanted to come with me, so I decided to shoot a church photo in Nastola, which is a small locality next to my home village Iitti. 

This evangelical wooden church is built in 1802 - 1804 by a church architect Mats Akergren. The bell tower is however older, from 1760 and it was moved to it's actual place in 1804. The church had a complete renovation in 2001, but as you can see, it really would need a new, fresh coat of paint again. The altar painting portrays crucified Jesus, the painter is unknown.
