Last update: August 25, 2025.
This site presents interesting images and phenomena concerning church architecture, including samples from my complete pictorial collection of Finnish churches, key European and American projects and examples of church reuse Europe-wide.
I have taken these images over the course of 25 years of field work among churches, mainly as a researcher of the University of Helsinki.
Only a very small number of images are currently available online (as of August 2025), especially compared to the Kuvio Image Archive, which ran from 1995 to 2015, peaking 40,000 church images online.
Some of the educational material that was available at Kuvio might be migrated to the new environment; this has only been implemented for the Lohja church application so far.
The latest addition is a presentation of the summer 2025 trip to Norwegian stave churches (see menu).
Until later!
