The Church of Jokioinen
In 1631, Johan (son of Jesper) Kruus had the church of Jokioinen built. There are only the log walls and the graves under the floor boards left of the original building. The present decorated exterior and tower connected to the steep roof were designed in 1862 by G.A.Edelfelt, the architect for the county of Häme. To the north side of the so called "Lacechurch" is a small vestry. The front hall of the church resembles an armament room from the middle ages and in the gable to the west there is another entrance with a hall.
The altar was designed in 1931 by architect Rafael Blomstedt. Instead of altarpiece there is a wooden Crucifix dating back to 1650. Many of the articles in the church have been donated in the 17 and 18 century.
The mechanical organ was built in 1971 by the organ maker Hans Heinrich. The church was repainted in 1975 using the colour design of curator Th. Lindqvist.
The Dalecarlian, finely built church belfry was built at the time of the foundation of the church. The larger church bell was donated by the builder of the church Johan Kruus in 1664, the smaller bell was donated in 1755. Captain, Knight Reinhold Jägerhorn was one of the donaters.
Surrounding the church is a graveyard, which has been expanded many times. In the older part are the graves of the pastors, estate residents and factory workers. The granite fountain was designed by artist Ilmari Wirkkala.
The church of Jokioinen is one of the oldest wooden churches, which are in use round the year in Finland.
