Village chapel

The old Orthodox village chapel was built again in the beginning of 2000s. An old photograph of the chapel by Samuli Paulaharju guided the building process which began in 1997.

Traditional ram sheep festival, Pohrottsa day festival, was held yearly in front of the chapel until 1920s. A ram sheep was sacrificed during the festivities and the meat was eaten by men only. Since 1992 the festival is arranged yearly in the same place.
