The Nokia Church (Finnish: Nokian kirkko) is a 19th-century stone church located in Nokia town in Pirkanmaa, Finland. The Neoclassical church building was designed by C. L. Engel (1778–1840),[2] and it was completed in 1837.[1][3]
The model of the building is considered to be the Pantheon of Rome;[2] the church hall is a full circle and the dome extends over the entire hall.[1][3]
The church's 32-tone pipe organ was manufactured by the Kangasala's organ factory in 1974.[4] The organ was built in connection with the repair of the church in 1973–1974.[3] The church was also repaired later, in 1996, when, among other things, the limestone floor was renewed.[3]
The altarpiece of the church is The Crucifixion of Christ from 1907 by Felix Frang.[5]
