Kustaa Aadolfin kirkko
Iisalmi, FI
Gustav Adolf Church (Finnish: Kustaa Aadolfin kirkko, Swedish: Gustav Adolfs kyrka), also known as Iisalmi Old Church (Finnish: Iisalmen vanha kirkko, Swedish: Idensalmi gamla kyrka), is a wooden church in Iisalmi, Finland, which was consecrated in 1780. The Finnish Heritage Agency has classified th
e church as a nationally significant built cultural environment. Prior to the union of municipalities and parishes in the early 1970s, the Gustav Adolf Church was the main church of the Iisalmi rural parish, while the town parish used a new church completed in 1934. The church was to be named after the then Swedish heir to the crown, Gustav Adolf, and the use of the name was approved by the ruler later in the autumn.
