"Roofed with board in North Europe - Wooden Church in Finland -"

Nordic Finland is blessed with coniferous tree, and wooden architecture is made of log masonry. In particular, the box pillar type construction method is very rare in the world. On this frame, there is a gassho-style roof frame, and on top of it is a roof plate made of hako willow board cut from Axe. The pattern varies depending on the craftsman's attention. The roof plate, painted with jet-black tar, harmonizes beautifully in the forest. This time, I would like to introduce the structure and roof of Finnish wooden churches in the 17th and 18th centuries.
