Jyväskylä sub-region

The Jyväskylä sub-region is best known in Finland for its concentration of architecture by Alvar Aalto. Centred on the university city of Jyväskylä, it lies amid the lakelands of Central Finland, where Lake Jyväsjärvi meets the urban shoreline and Lake Päijänne extends south through a vast waterway system. Aalto studied in Jyväskylä, and his work remains an important part of the city’s identity, alongside the University of Jyväskylä. The wider sub-region also includes Petäjävesi, home to the UNESCO-listed Old Church, a wooden church completed in 1765.
