Muhos, Utajärvi and Säräisniemi.

The old wooden churches in Rokua Geopark represent traditional timber building skills. The Muhos Church (1634) is the oldest wooden church in Finland still in year-round use. The church features skilled paintings, wooden sculptures and furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries. Utajärvi Church (1762) represents Neo-Gothic style. The church is surrounded by a magnificent pine forest. Muhos and Utajärvi churches are so-called block pillar churches. Only twelve such churches with wooden structures are known in the world. Säräisniemi Church (1781) is a beautiful cruciform church. The bell tower still has the original bell from 1785. The stone footing of the church is made of folded gneiss quarried from the local Pirunkalliot bedrock outcrop.
