Kempele

The landscape around Kempele is flat and low-lying, crossed by the Kempeleenjoki River and close to the Gulf of Bothnia, which has shaped both the town’s spread-out form and its long agricultural use. Immediately south of Oulu, Kempele combines residential districts with open fields and wooded stretches typical of Northern Ostrobothnia. Kempele Old Church, a timber church completed in 1691, is a lasting link to the area’s early parish history. The town’s position beside Oulu also makes it part of one of northern Finland’s most active urban areas.
