Eglise (Church) in Siuro is a historically significant wooden church completed in 1911. Designed by architect Frans Lilja, it represents a notable example of the National Romantic style prevalent in Finnish church architecture during the early 20th century. The building features a cruciform layout with a prominent central tower and is constructed primarily from locally sourced timber. Its interior is characterized by light-colored wood paneling, stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes, and artwork commissioned from prominent Finnish artists of the period. The church serves as an active parish church within the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland and also functions as a venue for cultural events due to its acoustic properties and architectural merit.
