“Roofs in North Europe: Wooden Church in Finland”

Nordic Finland is blessed with coniferous tree, and wooden architecture is a log assembly. In particular, the box pillar type construction method is very rare in the world. On top of this frame, a gassho-style roof structure is placed, and on top of it is a roof plate made of hakoyanagi board cut by 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, we will introduce the structure and roof of the Finnish wooden church in the 17th and 18th centuries.
