Kälviä

Kalvia lies along the Kalvianjoki River in Central Ostrobothnia, where level fields and mixed woodland shape the inland plain behind the Gulf of Bothnia. Now part of the city of Kokkola, it was an independent municipality until the 2009 municipal merger. The wooden Kalvia Church, completed in 1786, remains a long-standing local landmark. Its setting reflects the working agricultural character of western Finland rather than the port-city atmosphere of nearby Kokkola.
