Saariselkä St. Paul's Chapel
Saariselän kappeli
A small wooden chapel in Saariselkä village with a floor-to-ceiling window behind the altar framing snowy fells and forest.
The chapel is built of timber in a simple style. Behind the altar is a full wall of floor-to-ceiling glass, and beyond it the cedar forest and hills serve as a natural altarpiece. The winter snow scenery is especially beautiful. The wooden bell tower beside it is also a popular photo spot. Many couples hold their weddings here. It is generally open during the day, and entry is free. Please keep the atmosphere quiet. The chapel is in the village of Saariselkä, a few minutes' walk from the main street.
