Utajarvi

Utajärvi has served as a parish centre in inland northern Finland since 1762. The municipality lies on the Oulu River, east of the city of Oulu, in a broad landscape of forests, wetlands and river valleys characteristic of Northern Ostrobothnia. Timber has long shaped life here, while the river once provided an important route for moving logs towards the coast. Utajärvi Church, a wooden church completed in 1762, is a lasting link to the community’s early parish history.
