Ylivieska

Ylivieska is best known within Northern Ostrobothnia for its role as a regional rail and commercial centre. The town stands on the Kalajoki River in western Finland, where a low river plain and farmland define the setting rather than the lakes and fells associated with other parts of the country. The Seinäjoki–Oulu railway runs through Ylivieska, while the line towards Iisalmi begins here, underlining its transport importance. The town’s 18th-century wooden church was destroyed by fire in 2016, and a new Ylivieska Church was subsequently built on the site.
