Old church of Mesukulyuly
The church erected in 15 - 16th centuries and it is considered the oldest building of Tampere. It seems like it turns out that the temple is already twice as older than the city itself. Today, of course, the church is already a little modified, it is stone (used to be from the tree). Once the temple walls covered the paintings - today only some of them is available to look, unfortunately. In the late 1970s of the 19th century, this church was simply abandoned (because they built a new one), grain and agricultural equipment were folded into it. But by the beginning of the last century, the old church was repaired, and she began to function again. Until now, services are held in it. True, the church is not heated, so it works only in the summer, usually from Wednesday to Sunday to 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
