English: Kerimäki church, located in Kerimäki, Finland, is the biggest wooden church in the world. It has been designed by architect A. F. Granstedt, and it was built in 1844–1847. The heating of the big church was difficult, so in 1953 there was built a modern one as an annex for winter use.

Suomi: Kerimäen kirkko on maailman suurin puukirkko. Kirkon on suunnitellut arkkitehti A. F. Granstedt, ja se on rakennettu vuosina 1844–1847. Suuren kirkon lämmitys oli hankalaa, joten 1953 rakennettiin uusi pienempi kirkko siipirakennuksena suuren kylkeen talvikirkoksi.

Svenska: Kerimäki kyrka i Kerimäki kommun i Finland torde vara världens största träkyrka. Den byggdes 1844–1847 och planerades av arkitekten A. F. Granstedt. Eftersom det var dyrt och besvärligt att värma upp den stora kyrkan, och den sällan var fullsatt, byggdes 1953 en modern mindre kyrka som ett annex till den stora.
