The Assembly of Roof Structures in the Mediaeval Churches of Finland
The last still-standing examples of Finland’s mediaeval timber constructions are the roof structures of some 20 stone churches. Karjaa Church — built in 1470 — boasts one of Finland’s best-preserved examples of such structures; it is vital in the country’s wooden cultural heritage. We present our interpretation of the building process of the Karjaa Church nave’s roof structure. Given the lack of written records on church building processes from t…
Timber Reuse in Mediaeval Churches of Finland
Reusing construction materials is as old as construction itself. The most prevalent historical examples of reuse, especially spolia , consist of buildings made of hard and durable materials, such as stone and bricks. We examined circular wood use, including reuse, remanufacturing and recycling, on large-scale mediaeval construction sites, specifically in Finland’s mediaeval stone churches. In the Nordic countries, especially Denmark and Sweden, t…
Revealing the Innovations in Late Medieval Roof Structures of Finland

In Finland, timber remained the dominant construction material until the 19th century. Due to many fires, wars, and other catastrophic events, the number of still-standing wooden buildings and constructions erected before industrialization is very limited. Medieval wooden buildings can only be found in archa…
