Liminka

Liminganlahti Bay defines the setting of Liminka — its shallow waters, reed beds and coastal meadows shape life in this low-lying municipality on the northern Gulf of Bothnia. The bay is one of Finland’s best-known birdwatching areas, particularly during spring and autumn migration, when waterbirds and waders use its wetlands. Liminka lies in North Ostrobothnia, south of Oulu, where land uplift gradually continues to alter the Baltic coastline. In the centre, Liminka Church, a wooden church completed in 1826 to plans by Carl Ludvig Engel, recalls the area’s older parish history.
