[taidehistoria]

The Paltaniemi Church. It is located in the city I was born, and some of my ancestors have been buried into the old church yard behind the church. It was built originally in 1726, and at the time it was common for people to come to the church with big church boats over the lake. Those boats were operated by people rowing them. Pictures inside cover the stories of bible from the Adam and Ewa all way to the final days of the earth. The painting about heaven and hell has been partly over painted, as it was said to have been too shocking to many.
