Alterations to Korpilahti Church (1926-1927, 2018)

Kirkonmäentie 1-3, 41800 Korpilahti

Korpilahti Church dates back to 1827. Its original design was created by A.W. Arppe under the tutelage of Italian architect Carlo Bassi. As the building’s centenary approached, up-and-coming young architect Alvar Aalto was invited to draw up plans to restore this timber-structured round church.
