Ceiling paintings in Toivakka church

Toivakka Church

Salomonin tie 5, 41660 Toivakka

The church at Toivakka is famous for Pellervo Lukumies’ frescos (1972–73). These colourful paintings did not find a home without some dispute. It is said that the pastor of the day took away the keys from the painter after seeing the first picture, saying… ‘And I’m not going to preach in a circus!’
