Utsjoki Church is a church in the Lapland town of Utsjoki.[1] It is the northernmost church in Finland as well as in the European Union. Belonging to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, it was designed by the architecture office of Ernst Lohrmann and was built with grey stones during the years 1850–1853. The small church seats 230 people within its 170 square metres.
Vuonna 1853 massiivisista graniittijärkäleistä rakennettu uusi Utsjoen kirkko näkyy kauniina järven vasemmalla loivalla rannalla jonkun matkan päässä siitä. Se maksoi noin 90 ooo markkaa, se on katettu raudalla.
