Ylämaa Church, located in the former municipality of Ylämaa (now part of Lappeenranta), was completed in 1931 based on designs by Ilmari Launis. It features detailed interior paintings and engraved glass windows by Antti Salmenlinna, and an altar painting by Väinö Saikko. The church also houses 1940s organs built by Kangasala’s renowned organ factory and a baptismal font made from local Ylämaa spectrolite. Outside, visitors can see a war memorial by sculptor Mikko Hovi. The church sits in a quiet village surrounded by forest roads ideal for trekking or cross bikes, though the terrain can be slightly hilly.
